Oh and Germ, i wasnt saying that your shot placement wasnt good, cause obviously it was! 
I was just saying that shot placement is SO critical when hunting turkeys with bows. Its hard enought just to hit the bird, but then you have to basically hit a baseball sized area...

RE: If you voted Jake
I havent had one flop over yet this year...they are tough!
I think that if you hit them in the vitals they are rarely just going to flop. I shot one this past fall with expandables and hit off target. It just happened to be that off target was right at the base of the neck and he dropped like a fly...
I believe its pretty tough to drop them in their tracks with a fixed blad broadhead and a 300 fps bow, but it will definately kill them just as well.

If you want 'em to flop for sure, grab some Guillotines! [8D]

The bird fell over he waited about 5 min because his Dad was trying to get a bird. On the tape in the corner you see his bird pick his head up. Then it takes off running, LOL

The Turkey's head was down, we think that is why it just knocked him out.

RE: If you voted Jake
Germ,
I wonder if the poundage of your bow had anything to do with it. 68lbs for a little bird like that! Either way not sure. I'd like to accomplish a bird with a bow but I'd like to get a bunch of birds first. To date I only have 4. Maybe after 20 or so I'd more likely to take one with a bow.
BTW- How much breast meat would you say you ended up with?
Congrats!
Tom

I had enough breast for on Home made Turkey Pop-Pie from my Mother
I pick it up after work.
Hard to say I had 1 full breast, and 1 I had was almost cut in half and I had to takes bits and pieces out. I would say 1/3 of a pound
