The only one I've shot was strutting and I pinned its' wings together. Too bad to, because the breasts were pretty bloodshot.

Mysticquido...IMO the burlap target face is very misleading...too much breast muscle in that circle ( 1/3 of it) from around 2-6 o'clock. That circle needs to move to the left a bit. Really center over between the legs...Heres a NBEF slide.

Joey, the one I shot the broadhead hit right at the top of the legs, probably a little below the actual drumstick part. Usually my broadhead goes about an inch over their back or under their belly...

I shoot them straight up from the leg an inch or so.If you don't kill instantly,you take out the legs,which they also need to get flying.............no running,no flying.....pretty easy to get to even if they aren't dead by the time you walk up to them.

Thanks Joe, i get around each year to posting it sometime or another. You have to go up those legs no matter what the pose. Now go kill that Cohutta Gobbler and we will all [Not Worthy]

My "old reliable" stand is a strutt zone in an upper corner of a field.

I wait untill he's in full strutt and all fanned out with his back facing directly at me. Then I shoot him right above the root of his tail.

I've never had one go over 50 yards,and most just roll around untill I get ahold of them.

The best kills with a bow were between the wings facing away, If facing me just above the beard or bace of neck, broadside above the drumsticks, I know when cleaning them you really got to dig the lungs out from the backbone and rib cage which tells me you want to pick a spot plenty high on the bird. The ones I had the hardest time finding are the ones I thought I dead centered.
