I was wondering what is everyones preferred shot placement, body or neck/head decapitation. I am going to try neck shots this year, I have the 100 grain magnus bullheads. I shot one into my foam target and its stuck inside of it. When the target is shot beyond use I'm going to have to cut it out. It had like 6 or 7in drop from the bullseye so I'm probably going to sight in my 50yd pin to shoot accurately at 20yds with the bullheads. That way if the turkeys are within a close distance I can go for the neck shot but still be able to shoot my normal broad heads for body shots at longer distances. What are your preferences?

I don't bow hunt for turkeys anymore, although I did kill one with a crossbow last spring. I always aimed for the spine, my rationale being that if I hit the spine, the bird could not use its legs, and could not therefore, fly. I killed several turkeys that way. The decapitation method is intriguing, and I considered trying that, but never did.
