Wahya is exactly right, where the wing meets the body, where the beard exits the chest, or in the dreaded bunge hole. A large cutting surface is best and try to keep the arrow in the bird. Good luck this year.

I think the three described points; start of the beard, wing socket, and where the tailfeathers come together, are your best bets for a good shot. It is my experience that the good "kill" zone on a turkey is just a little bigger than a man's fist from any angle at any given time. I have seen several side shots be a little too far forward on a bird and just rip the breast open,just for the bird to fly away and die. You will need to use a broadhead that will get very little penitration, for a complete pass thru runs too high of a risk of a bird getting away. If you just take out a wing, it may not fly, but it will run like hell. Good Luck and let us all know how it turns out!!

Great site NC. Perfect shots. I haven't used them, but think the biggest mechanical going would be the trick. I have a friend that's taken 4 in the last two years with big ole mechanicals. He hunts exclusively out of a double bull blind that he sets up in strutting areas along field edges before the season opens.(private land) His shots have been 7-15 yards. He's passed on a ton of jakes.

I have shoot several turkeys with a bow. Vitals are low and back. Shoot at the secondary feather. Or if he is strutting and facing away, shoot him, yes in the butt. He wont go far.

One important thing to check on is if it is legal to use a washer or the like behind the broadhead, in some states it is illegal. Check your state regs, the washers are legal in most states though.
