2/2 on bowhunting turkeys

1. 32 yard
2. 5 yard

Average: 18.5 yards.

Rounded up, and said average of 20.

I learned that it really is possible to suck them in real close with a correct set up. I've shot 5 turkeys total. (3 shotgun, 2 bow) all shots (except the 32yrd) were 20 and in.

RE: Average shot distance ?

I have shot at six birds: 16, 25, 32, 35, 37, and 43 yards. I missed at 32 and 43 yards. I think I'm going to limit shots to 35 yards from this point forward.
