I made the mistake of shooting a turkey with a " regular" set-up once. The bird was facing me and I passed clean through the chest. I found the arrow and it was saturated in blood.

I never found that turkey though. The bird took off flying and with no blood trail to follow and thick Pennsylvania woods it was game over.

In my opinion, you need to not only shoot a set-up that will retard penetration, but you also need to aim for the wing base or hip. (The idea being an actual " breaking down" of the bird to keep it on the ground.)

The guys are right. Read the messages already here and you will get all the info you need. But, for the quick answer... Lighten up and shoot a monster broadhead.
