Default RE: Turkey hunting with the bow?

It is also a good idea and recommended by most to reduce your bow poundage as well, as to minimize the possibility of a pass through. i.e. 50# something is better than high 60's or 70# for turkey.
I agree with this statement. Both turkeys I took with my bow this past KS trip, the first arrow disappeared into never, never land, that's $25 gone...LOL ACC/Snyper

The second tho was very cool, it pinned the bird to the ground, he pole vaulted off and did a death run on camera.

Both turkeys were shot with my whitetails setup, 70 lb Ally, ACC's, Snypers 305fps, 79 fts of KE...WAY OVER SETUP!

From now on, I'm backing a bow way down even though both birds fell in sight on camera, it was shot placement, not power and speed! Coming soon to River Valley Game Calls, Vol IV of their Headhunters series DVD. (Shameless plug)....LOL [8D]
