Should I back down my draw weight, so I can hold the bow on full draw for longer and to prevent a full penetration? I am currently around 65-70 #'s.

Hey guys! I am Ray, I live outside of State College, PA. Have yet to harvest a bird with my bow, but came close last spring. I am shooting rage 2 blades at 63#. Might try the gobbler guillotine if i feel like spending the money for them.

Im right at #60. Thats #10 less than what I hold for deer season. I can hold that all day, which is great for turkeys because they always seem to come in and make all sorts of quick motions that give you a short window of opportunity for a good shot.

Actually no i wasn't, i was coyote hunting. But every time i saw turkeys they were working through the corn fields picking up any grain they could find. If i were you i would try scouting along cornfields, around mid-day is when i was seeing them. If you still have snow like we do you can also walk the edges of food sources for the turkeys and that way you get a general idea of how many there are and where they are feeding so you can look them over.Good luck and happy scoutin'
