I was video taping the turkey I shot on Oct. 2 and I am finally getting around to posting it. You will have to excuse the awful sound that accompanies the video. I have been having trouble with a background noise, which you will hear, when I transfer from the camera to the computer. I don't know what the problem is but turn down the sound it is very annoying. video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1915955274615557248&hl=en |

Way to flock shoot! I thought you were anoying in person, but watching that proved otherwise!!!! You can get on my nerves at over 3 hour drive away... Good job! See you in about a month. I'll try to get some pills so I can bear your anoying ways  |

Got a strange ? what would happen if you found a good tom took a shot goes thru the target jumps thru the grass weeds what ever, and kills another bird. How do you/we explain the oops, or do we. Just a ? I don't bow hunt but I have this ? in my head for awhile and seeing the nice flock and in the 1st 20 seconds I could see it .

Not that I know from personal experience (not much of a turkey hunter) but I am fairly sure there are gizmos that you put on your arrow that prevent it from passing through the bird/small game. But it would be no different then if you were to take a shot and kill 2 with your gun. Or shoot at a tom in the spring and take a hen with it. It happens and there is no good excuse for it, just know what your target is and what is behind it.

I am a turkey hunter and yes you need to know your target! I got a double with a good friend in FL this past spring and we had to flock shoot it is just part of it, no harm, no foul if you know your target. Done it before then but we both harvested the 2 birds we shot at and didn't shoot any of others.....by the way nice video, congrats!

I shoot a mechanical broadhead for turkeys. Normally the arrow stays in the bird. I was afraid of hitting two birds that morning so I shot the one behind so I did not end up with two birds hit. If you watch closely in the video you will see the arrow hit the bird in the background not the foreground. My arrow did blow through that bird but with the mechanical head it stopped in the grass just on the other side of the bird.
I do have some arrow stops so if I do shoot a regular broad head it will keep the arrow in the bird. They sit just behid the head and slide down the arrow as it enters. The first turkey I shot with the bow I was using one of the stops, it worked great.
