I use them about half the time I hunt.I think for your first hunt it would be a good Idea as the turkeys attention is on the decoy and not you if you happen to move a bit.
Iwould use a Jake facing you and a hen 5 or 6 ft. away, Or put them in the breeding position 20 ft. beyond you and off to one side, make sure you can make the shot. Stars being decoys the X is you and the tom is T.
