    I'm a newbie here so not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I've been shooting a bow less than a year, and I have been hunting for the last 9 years and have killed multiple turkeys with a shotgun. Never hunted turkeys with a bow till now. What's a good place to try and put an arrow into a turkey using Mechs? I've been trying to study the anatomy of turkeys and figure out where to shoot when puffed up and not. Any help guys? I'm a good shot out to 40-50 ( i practice 60-80 regularly) but am keeping my ranges to about 20 and under due to first time bow hunting Turks. Thanks for any info

    This is my first year hunting turkey in general. I came across this video that shows shot placement with a bow.
