My bow is a 30 pound pull, which makes it pretty impossible to use for turkeys. Michigan will let you use a crossbow if you're handicapped and get a doctor to okay it. I'm going to see if being so small can be a handicap that will let me use a crossbow for turkeys. I don't want to use it for deer, just for turkeys. (I can take the recoil of a 12 ga. for one shot, but I can't take it to practice with repeated shots.)
