turkey hunting
What kind of broad head do you use for turkey. I have taken many turkey with a gun but not sure if I could get a good kill with bow so I never have used my bow. Some say take it right in the wing.

RE: turkey hunting
i only use muzzy 3 blade, i am sure with turkeys muzzy 4 blade would be better. the 3 blade muzzy's go through bone so well with deer but turkeys don't have any thick bone so my vote would go for the 4 blade muzzy. i have shot a lot of turkeys with a bow, none of them have survived, and only one made it more than 5 feet, he made it 30 yards. i always shoot for the wing right below the bend. i also always make a tom come out of strut before i shoot him, i draw back and get ready, then if he doesn't see me i sit up, the tom will come out of strut for a couple of seconds with his head in the air to take a better look at you before he sprints off. shooting at a full strut tom with a bow is kind of hard cause his body is very small compared to what you see.
