Default Turkeys with bow?

Ok guys gonna be my first year bowhuntin turkeys.I been practicing shootin out of my doghouse blind and have gotten pretty used to shootin out the portholes.I practice out to 40 and 50 yards when I shoot alot but I wont shoot past 30 at a deer or hogs or anything other than a target.Just been thinkin since a turkeys kill zone is smaller I think I am going to limit myself to 15 or 20 or closer on them.What do you guys usually limit your shots on turkeys down to?Also when hunting from blind how do ya'll position your decoys right in front of the blind or a little past the blind.I just got to thinkin a lot of times a gobbler sees a decoy and just starts struttin around out of range.I am going to be using a single hen and single jake decoy in hopes that if a gobbler spots them he will come charging in at the jake and get maybe a 5 or 10 yard shot.Also how many of the portholes should I open all three or just a couple I just do not want it to be too much light inside the blind.The inside interior of my blind is black so that it is harder for game to see in.I am going to leave the mesh down as I am using 100 grain shockwaves for turkeys and am afraid they may open when shooting through the mesh.Really cannot see much difference with the mesh up anyway.Anyway any tips ya'll might have would be great esspecially on decoy placement that is the one I am still havin a hard one figurin out.With a gun no problem with a bow whole different ballgameThanks ya'll!!
