I,ve taken a lot turkeys with bow.  I just use the same setup from big game hunts.  Turkeys are really not the difficult to get, just like any other animal, shot placement means more than anything else.

Taken about a dozen birds with a recurve -- 40-48#, arrows in the 500 grain range,Woodsman 3-blade and 4-blade Zwickeys.

I've been turkey hunting since the eighties and have used my regular deer hunting setup. Bows have ranged from 65# back then to 45# last year. Snuffers have been my primary broadheads with bullheads coming in second. Shot placement is critical! I have a string tracker on the snuffers and it's worked out well for when they fly after being shot. Shot placement is Critical!
