Bow hunters....????
Do turkeys jump the string at all....in any direction. Granted they may move/run, but is there any verticle movement when they spook?
This will be my first try, Just got the new bow and am workin on the sights now, but wanted to make sure if the bird is really spooky if i should judge some play in there.
Thanks so much

It all depends... I have seen lots of birds taken on the tube with bow and arrow and the vast majority did not jump at all.
I am going to try and bow my first one this year... so I'll let you know soon, but I am planning to aim for what I want to hit, my bow is pretty fast and nice and quiet. Turkey's tend to shuck and jive a lot anyway, but hopefully my decoys will keep their attention fixed and they will hold still for me.

Remember, your not shooting long distances at the turkey with your bow. It is best to keep your shots 25 yards or closer and the 25 yards is a little far in my opinion. At those distances, turkeys will be hit with the arrow before it hears the sound. If it sees you, then your busted .
Good luck.
