bradsmith2010:
I am planning to turkey hunt with my bow quite a bit this season,,
I have a hunt planned for mid april and have been shooting my 55 inch nock to nock 50#@25  osage bow,, the arrows that shoot best are sitka spruce about 500 grains,, I have no doubts about the set up if I just do my part,, I have been practicing every day on my close shots, and would even try for a head shot if that was my best option,, what are you guys going to hunt with,, ???  I have some decoys this year,, and plan to use a blind some as well,, I like to hunt with just camo on,, but think the blind will help with my decoy set up for afternoon hunts,,any thoughts????

make-n-break:
Might do a little with this 53" Osage bendy handle 68@28.  I've been fussing with getting matched arrows that fly good. It's a powerhouse... But a backup powerhouse.

something 70 to 75# spine should work, even 65# might work if you cut it 28 to back of broad head,, sometimes I had good luck with my heavier bows shooting birch or ash or maple,, ,, the heavier shaft calmed them down a bit,, especially on a shorter bow,,

make-n-break:
Made this one just for turkey hunting this spring. It came in 10 pounds under weight but after practicing with it non stop and matching arrows, I'm confident it's a worthy weapon. Just took me some time to build confidence in it.

Hickory board
66" long
45@28

I think the lighter bow  will give you the advantage to hold longer if you need too,, for example,, if you need to draw when the turkey can't see you,, and need to hold till you get the shot,, the 45# will allow you to do that a little easier,, :)
