I shot that turkey in the vid with a Hoyt Vtec at 69lbs with an Easton 2413 / 100g Muzzy 4 Blade. Same setup I use for everything. The key to our setups is bring them close. We usually set up the strutter decoy at 10 yds from the blind. The birds will typically go right to that decoy. Shoot for the head when they are strutting because you have a target about the size of a soft ball with their head/neck all curled up. Stay calm and remember that hitting a softball at 10 yards isn't that hard! Remember when they are head on, you only have about an inch to hit, so broadside is better. I prefer to head shoot because you have one of 2 things...a dead bird or a slightly scared bird. If they aren't that close, my favorite shot is going away to break the back. Second would be right on the wing butt broadside. They don't go anywhere when hit properly. I completely stay away from head on shots to the body. I lost a turkey that I felt was shot perfectly at 34 yards so now I stay away from that.
