If legal - I don't see why not. If you enjoy it go for it!

Shot placement can be done in 3 ways.
1. Make it extremely difficult and shoot only for the head neck region. There are specialized broadheads for archers but for x=bows I do not know. But if you contact a few broadhead manufacturers they ought to be able to help you or your local archery shop.
2. Body shots can also be taken. A side shot is good. Shot placement should be where the wing attaches the to body. See the picture - follow the feather seem down the body and center on the body using the leg in this picture to help you center.

3. If the bird is in Strut - shoot the Butt



Note: I tried to add a red mark as an aimig point - kinda hard to see.
