As long as you have a good expandable broadhead put it in the middle and watch him flop. Rocket used to make a 4 bladed broadhead that was down right deadly on turkeys. We bought a bunch of them out of a catalog for $9.99 a pack. At last count we were 13 for 13 on turkeys with them. I wish I could find some more of them.

They don't like lower poundage and frontal shots,I can tell you that.[

YEP,at 25 yards and he went staright up,the arrow fell out,the bird dove to the ground about 50 yards away and I never even found blood.Even looking at the pics gmmat posted,the shot was perfect,just not for the setup and broadhead combo.
I had a witness with me and we both thought the bird would be laying where he hit the ground,the shot was PERFECT but the breastbone was just too much,as you can see from the picture.

i hit one with a rage and it busted right through the breast bone but do you think fixed blades would work fine?

I am not experienced enough with turkeys to say that I would or would have not been able to shoot through the mass of the bone with a fixed head.

so is head shooting wrong guys ?
in oz we have wild turkey everywhere ( no not the drink althought i have been known) and head shooting leaves the meat in good condition and its about the same size as vital area
