Friends, our 2nd Amendment rights are always under attack and the NRA has been a constant for decades in helping fight that fight.
We have partnered with the NRA to offer you a discount on membership and Muzzleloading Forum gets a small percentage too of each membership, so you are supporting both the NRA and us.
I'll be hunting with a .36 flintlock, using 40 grains 3f behind prb. Besides a head shot (hey, I'm not Alvin York!), where's the best place to anchor them?
I would say right where the wing intersects with the body. All the vitals are in that general area. It would be like shooting a deer right behind the front leg. At least thats where I would aim. I would forget about trying to hit in the head. Those things move around to much.
Center of mass with a bow. Turkeys are like Buzzards around here. I give them away won't eat one. Every few years Blue tongue wipes the deer out and the ground Buzzards have a feast. Larry Wv
Turkeys with a rifle. I have been fortunate enough to kill several Gobblers with a rifle both 40 and 45 cal. I have shot them in both the side and front. Side shots have had mixed results some lethal some not. The one shot that has never failed is-- Turkey coming straight in to call aim right in the "V" of the breast bone above the beard. Turkey usually quits flopping before the smoke clears. This shot really works -Trust me. slicjack
