MeanV, what I meant in my posts by a bad shot, is one taken at the side of a turkey, and hitting the wing bone. That would effect any shot on a turkey with arrow or pellets. The best bow shots on turkeys are a head on frontal, and from behind. The arrow easily penetrates the vitals w/o hitting the wing bone. So I have no doubts a Gobbler Getter could bounce off a turkey if it hit the wingbone. A side shot with bow leaves a smaller area to hit, you add in a angled shot, and that makes it tougher yet. But pure flesh, NO WAY!
