In this video, I'm going to give you compelling reasons why bowhunters should shoot turkeys in the head. I'll compare the size of a turkey's head to the size of its vital organs to show why head shots are the most ethical and effective way to take down a turkey with a bow. Key points covered: The vital organs (heart, lungs) of a turkey are only about 3-4 inches wide, making them a small target The turkey's head is around 3 inches wide, providing a larger target area With the right broadhead like the Beast Decap, you get 6-7 inches of forgiveness left-to-right on a head shot Head shots result in a quick, clean kill, preventing the turkey from flying/running long distances and potentially being lost Head shots don't ruin any of the meat, unlike body shots which can damage the meat I'm passionate about this topic because I've been head shooting turkeys since 2011 and have found it to be the most effective and ethical approach. I'll walk you through the anatomy and ballistics to show why...
