I am going to try it with a bow this year. I am wondering how far people feel comfortable shooting. Range isn't really an issue as far as my setup, but I don't know if it's like deer, or if I should try to keep shots under 25yds. I will be hunting out of a blind along some food plot edges. Also do you set up decoys differently if for bowhunting.

Thanks

It all depends on how comfortable you are shooting. If you are using a blind and a decoy there is a good posibility that you could get them into 5 yards...idealy it would be nice to get a bird in to 20 yards or less IMO

MH is right....it all depends on you and how comfortable you are. I personally won't shoot a bird over 25 yards. Under 20 is ideal.

25 yards is max with a broadhead in the vitals or a getter in the head.
i want the bird to die from my shot, not from me ringin its neck.
its easy part is arrowing the bird, the hard part is killing it!
i dont go for the head i go for vitals.

I'll shoot 'em from 30.....But I set my decoys out at 15 yards.....They want to make eye contact, so they position themselves between the decoy and the blind....Nice chip shot at 10 yards....

I honestly will shoot one at 60 yards. I have practiced there and i know i can so i am going to try if i have to.
Otherwise i want to get one within 40-30-20 yards. I have used a decoy and they work great on lone toms but if the toms have hens with them already it isnt as affective.

60 yards on a bird do you know the size of the vitals?? a deers vitals are the size of the whole bird. What do you hope for to wond it and then break its neck? j/k

i would take a 50 yard shoot 40 if i was aiming for the head

As tough as turkeys seem to be (I am no expert) and asrelativelysmall as they are,I would limit MYSELF to 30 yards. Of course, I really like the shots under 10 yards. For some reason I am always confident on those

I think a bit of reality needs to be interjected here! I'm a pretty good shot and I'm very comfortable with my bow. if I shoot groups at 30yds I am in danger of busting nocks.40 yds and shafts may well be touching. However that is shooting at a stationary target. turkeys move. Particularly their heads. In MY opinion a 40 yd shot at a turkeys head or a 60 yd shot at a turkeys vitals is iffy at best. And that is putting it nicely. For ME, 40 yds is the max range for a shot at a birds vitals and then conditions have to be ideal. Unless I'm using Guillioteens I won't take a head shot. Ideally a well placed shot to the vitals at 15-20 yards is what I'm looking for. If I can't get them that close maybe I need to work on my calling!
