My dad has bowhunted turkeys for 3 years now. I took my bow last year. We hunt out of a blind. I shot at 2 (missed em both at 52 yards!!!I was sighted in to 50 yards) the turkeys never knew where the shot came from. My dad drew back on at least four others, most of the time there was many turkeys around and they never noticed us drawing back. It isn't a must but it's better than only getting a shot at 1 out of 6.
