ORIGINAL: Techy

turkeys with a bow this spring. I am getting a little excited about breaking in the new alliegance on a Turkey this spring. What are you guys going to be using for: bow, arrows, b-heads...

I am going to be using the Alliegance 29" 70#
Beman arrows
broadhead not sure yet, rocket maybe.
You may learn that you want to drop the draw weight of your bow down about 10 pounds or so. I don't know if you've ever gone turkey hunting with a bow but sometimes Toms don't cooperate and you'll need to be able to hold at full draw for upwards of a minute. Also, with a 70lb bow you're sure to blow right through a bird, the trick is to keep the arrow inside the gobbler for quick recovery, most people will use a bow set at or around 50 lbs and will use a blunt tipped broadhead. I'll be filing the tips down on my Muzzys just for this occasion.
