almost every season, mostly fall, i get a shot at a turkey with my bow yet every year they seem to some how escape my arrow. Anyone else have this problem?

If they are not picking you off while you are drawing then I am guessing you are " catching some feathers" and not connecting on that " skinny middle" . Up until this season I never had a blind to shoot out of so I never was able to really get past getting picked off when I drew the bow.....so, I know how you feel to some extent. I hope that changes with the upcoming season.

Turkeys have always eluded me. The first shot i had was at 25 yards after holding the bow for about 2 minutes, and the arrow missed. That same spring i had 4 jakes come in at about 3 yards and i never could get my bow back. That fall, i stalked up on what i thought was about 6 turkeys, that 6 turned into about 40 all withen bow range. Excuse time. Fence in the way, tree of to the right(me sitting there with my draw dropped kinda going duuhhhhhh). I did take a shot at one in the air after they all took off flyin. lol. Im hopin to try this spring. The season opens on sunday here in Oklahoma and i have a couple birds picked out. Hopefully this year the jinx will be gone. Good luck with your season.

If you are in a tree than all I can say is good luck, I have tried and tried. It wasn' t untell I bought a Double Bull pop up blind when I started killing birds with my bow. Infact, all the birds I shot with my bow sense than have been bow kills withi' n 12 yards.
also keep in mind of your shot placement.
