Can someone please help me with a basic here? Could you put up some picks of turkeys from different angles and show where I want to aim for an archery shot? I know it's dumb, but honestly I've got no idea.. I'll be using a typical 3 blade broadhead. I know with a shot gun I'd just blast it in the head, but for some reason that doesn't seem right for the archery shots. Thanks!
 
I don't bow hunt but I'm pretty sure you just aim for the body, unless you have that broadhead that decapitates,

Prefer head shots for archery. I feel you lose too many with body shots

The only shot I will take is head neck or strait on base of the neck. I have lost too many birds shooting broad side. You can be off by 1 inch and he is gone to die far away. But if you miss the head or neck by an inch he is probably clean missed. Here is a few with holes in my choice spots.
