Littlebigman , anymore I always wait for a head on or facing away shot. I tried a few broadside shots when I 1st started bow hunting turkey's and lost a some birds. Too hard for me to pick the right spot. Head on, I aim for the base of the beard, Facing away, I aim just above the base of the tail. It works better for me, 9 birds in a row without a loss...... Norseman I've been saving feathers for awhile now and will have a bunch of left wing feathers I won't use..If any body's interested?
