I have a friend on another forum that has taken several turkeys with a bow. He's come to the opinion he has his best success on TURKEYS with a wide cutting mechanical. They do shoot exactly like a field point and they make a wide hole. Penetration is slowed just about the right amount. He's a confirmed fixed man on deer... but turkeys he uses mechanicals. I've talked to several others that feel the same. I believe he drops his poundage on the bow a little also so he won't have trouble pulling and holding with little or no movement. Anaother good shot is straight in the butt and in the back between the wings. He hunts out of a folding blind. He sets it up ahead of time where he's observed turkeys strutting every morning and goes from there. I think he's limited out with the bow the last couple years in the first couple weeks.

P.S. Another killing shot would be head on straight into the base of the beard. Hope you don't cut it off.
