Does anyone know where I can get a shot placement chart for
turkeys with a bow.
Thanks

turkeys are hard to kill witha bow i have shot only four and only recovered two of them. i have tried to shoot them in the head i am no good, but my success rate at getting them shooting them in the body isn't all that good either tho

Thanks guys. I have a place in TX with hundreds and hundreds of birds and I have some buddies that come down from
MO and Iowa every year and they always get a bird on the first day. So this year I told them it's archery only. They are avid
bow hunters so it should be pretty easy to get a shot I just wanted to e mail them a chart of where to hit em.
One guy said he's going to shoot that guilotine. Man those look awesome.
Thanks again and good luck.

The guillotines are whicked and very effective, but only at close ranges such as a max. of 25 yards, IMO! They are noisy in flight, and they require you to use longer arrows than you would normally use. Those 4" heads don't fit well in the normal broadhead quiver hoody either. And if you practice with them, you'll ruin the blades, almost gaurantee that.
I shot my bird last spring with them, and there's no tracking after the hit. My buddy shot two birds last spring with them, on the same stand. Neither bird went any where.
We'll probably be using them again this year.
