Default Judo points for turkeys?

I wanted to know if these will take down a bird because most the shots i get to take are at birds on the run. I know that if i miss the will stop so i can find it again but i just was wondering if it'll kill em?


THANKS

never shoot at a running turkey. loosing arrows is part of the game...but theres no reason to shoot at a running bird. the kill zone on a turkey is only about the size of a baseball or softball. i dont think ANYONE should ever take a running shot on a turkey!

I'll say this....you come up with the most interesting questions.....I would NEVER have thought of most of them......Hillarious...

I dunno about a judo point, but a blunt will if you head shoot them. I'm thinking....no, I'm KNOWING, a broadhead is the way to go here.....Yer gonna have to stop spooking them before you shoot at 'em....

Judo points will bounce off a turkey but may do wounding damage which will leave the bird unrecoverable, I say this with experience when I was a young teenager. Never shoot at a turkey or other big game species without a razor sharp broadhead. I also agree not to shoot at a running turkey, your outcome will be less then desireable. Do everything you can to bring the birds in close for a high percentage shot, know your kill zone and practice accordingly.

Where to start? How about not taking unethical shots? Thats a good start. Why are they running? Are you getting busted on a regular basis? If so start trying to figure out why.
