With turkeys being so sensitive to motion, I would agree with youngbowyer...shorter limbs, plenty heavy enough to punch that arrow thru the wingbutts.  Kill 'em, smoke 'em, love 'em.

Nothing like wild turkey on the table!

I got mine a few years ago with a #60 osage, coral point on a bamboo arrow at ten yards. The arrow didn't even slow down, made a passthru and flew another twenty yards. I was in a pop up blind.

  It's not as hard as you think to draw and shoot gobblers or bucks. I kill and miss gobblers everyyear. American indains did'nt have any special powers. And have you ever seen there bows,arrows and heads. I would'nt even since one of there heads down range. No they just did one simple thing. My granddad killed 312 gobblers in 92 spings and he set up the same way on most. He hunted all over the south every year as well as 1 or 2 northern states and all his old turkey buddy hunted this way for the most part.
   This works on bucks as well as gobblers. JUST SET UP WHERE THEY HAVE TO WALK PAST YOU. Gobbler and bucks seam to know behind them is safe and if you let them walk past you where your out of there perferable vision. There just alot easer to draw on. You can take your time. The main reason most instintive shots are missed.
 I defies all the vidios you see on TV. pic's. in mags and what you've read. They have to have the gobbler in front of them. For the camers. I do a complete turn around and set up with my back to the gobbler. Where he has to walk past you. Plus remember if you can see him he can see you. And you can't out set a gobbler thats came looking for your calls. Nor can you out draw a gobbler thats in front of you if he dos'nt walk behing something. Believe me I've tried dozzens of times.
   Plus with gobblers you uselly don't have hang ups because your calling sounds are going away. Makeing it seam your father than you really are. Also calls make away from gobblers you can't hear the misstakes as well as a gobbler your calling straight to you.
  I set up on mature bucks the same way as gobblers. I can tell you that your % of shots will go way up. I've killed 36 bucks unteen does 15 gobblers with a selfbow. Not counting all the shot gun kills of gobblers 31 all most all were let walk by me. Buck kills with a rifle dosn't matter much. Since you can reach out and touch them.
