I've only taken one tommy with the bow, I hit him right where the wing meets the body (the shoulder if you will). Anchored him pretty good.

The only other tom I shot at with the bow, I went for ahead shot...he bobbed the arrow.

The black dot you have is just getting feathers. [8D]

I prefer the wingbutt and the hip shot. Both shots will put the bird down extremely fast and he won't be able to take to the wing and loose ya with a power glide. Keep 'em in front of ya and they won't flop long!
