I have not had much luck recovering turkey's hit with a bow. They run as good as they fly. I was shooting heavy poundage (70#) at the time when I was losing birds- the arrows blew through the birds. I was using the old style Snuffer then. They would get in large pine plantations where you would need a bird dog to find them.

I do know you want to shoot them fairly high so you can break them down. I am going to try this year with a bow. It has been several years since I hunted them with a bow. I will be using a 45# bow this year. I will not shoot at them further than 15 yards. I sure would love to kill a long beard with my curve!
