Wahya is exactly right, where the wing meets the body, where the beard exits the chest, or in the dreaded bunge hole. A large cutting surface is best and try to keep the arrow in the bird. Good luck this year.

I think the three described points; start of the beard, wing socket, and where the tailfeathers come together, are your best bets for a good shot. It is my experience that the good "kill" zone on a turkey is just a little bigger than a man's fist from any angle at any given time. I have seen several side shots be a little too far forward on a bird and just rip the breast open,just for the bird to fly away and die. You will need to use a broadhead that will get very little penitration, for a complete pass thru runs too high of a risk of a bird getting away. If you just take out a wing, it may not fly, but it will run like hell. Good Luck and let us all know how it turns out!!

Great site NC. Perfect shots. I haven't used them, but think the biggest mechanical going would be the trick. I have a friend that's taken 4 in the last two years with big ole mechanicals. He hunts exclusively out of a double bull blind that he sets up in strutting areas along field edges before the season opens.(private land) His shots have been 7-15 yards. He's passed on a ton of jakes.

great site n.c I have always wondered exactly where to aim on a turkey

I have shoot several turkeys with a bow. Vitals are low and back. Shoot at the secondary feather. Or if he is strutting and facing away, shoot him, yes in the butt. He wont go far.

excellent question.. i was gonna ask it later but i guess i got my answer!

One important thing to check on is if it is legal to use a washer or the like behind the broadhead, in some states it is illegal. Check your state regs, the washers are legal in most states though.
