Montec G5 Fixed Blade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMy take: I have not used the guillotine heads yet.\u00a0 I tend to favor the fixed blade heads because of the old “keep it simple” theory.<\/strong>\u00a0 There have been some reports about mechanical broadheads not always opening upon impact.\u00a0 For fixed heads my preference is the Montec G5.\u00a0 They are not cheap at $40 for 3, but are a solid piece of metal and can be resharpened and used again and again.<\/p>\nWhere to Aim:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Aiming at the right spot on a turkey can be a bit challenging.\u00a0 Their coat of feathers is very thick like armor and their vital regions are small.\u00a0 Here are some scenarios and where to aim.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/outdoorsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/wild-turkey-910629_1280.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1\")
<\/p>\n
When the turkey is facing straight<\/strong> at you, you will want to aim in between the base of the beard and the bottom of the neck.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

When the bird is broadside<\/strong> to you, you will want to place your arrow on a vertical line with the legs and slightly higher than the horizontal center.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally when a bird is quartering towards<\/strong> you, the proper arrow placement will be on a horizontal line with the base of the turkey’s beard and left of the vertical center.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/outdoorsportsnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/iStock-1146775700-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1\")

Conclusion:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I hope this gives you a good primer on the basics of turkey hunting with a bow.\u00a0 It is challenging, but if you only take ethical shots inside 40 yards, you have a good chance of bagging the bird you’re chasing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you’ve ever wondered about how to hunt turkeys with a bow you’ve come to the right place.\u00a0 Bowhunting for turkeys is a challenging sport that can be extremely rewarding.\u00a0 We’re going to break down what you need to know to transfer your archery skills to turkey season.
