turkey set up
 

I want to try to kill a turkey with my bow this spring and need some advice on a good set up. I basically want to get a good arrow/broad head combo that want pass completely through the bird. I don't have the luxury of being able to track a wounded turkey where i hunt due to the thick underbrush, so I want something with good knock down power and something to keep him from flying off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:D

NAP make spitfires specifically for hunting turkeys. They have a tip that is rounded, not pointed, to limit penetration. Another thing to consider is shot placement. If the bird is broadside, shoot for the base of the wing. A shot there will hit the spine as well, and the bird should not go anywhere after being hit there. JMHO

Shot placement is definately the key. I haven't been able to keep an arrow in a turkey yet. Although I haven't used the forementioned spitfires. The farthest I've had a turkey go was about 10 yds. Personally I like to shoot them going away from me. (in the back) just hit them in the middle of the back and they don't go anywhere.

Thanks, I'll look into the spitfires and make sure about the placement.

I've never tried one, but you should check out the "gobbler quillitene" (spelling?).
There is a website for the company that makes them and they have some videos of the broadhead in action.
