Congratulations!!!
You, sir, are living testimony that it can be done with a bow.

Elite Ritual 30 and some Grim Reaper 3 blade 1 1/2" cutting diameter. The same bow that I was using for deer, last fall, but with cut-on-contact 150 gr. single bevel broadheads.
However, after patterning this old Stevens, I may finish out the season with it. Definitely done with the bow....for turkeys. I picked up a box of Federal #6s and shot them at 25 and 30 yards. I don't think I can trust this shotgun past 25 yards, because the pattern isn't dense enough for my tastes.

Hate to say it, but honestly I wouldn't trust that thing at 25 yards either. Turkeys are tough critters. That 25-yard pattern is marginal at best.

That's pretty damn cool!!! I lot of people have the before and after photos, but I don't know anyone that has a mid-stream/during-the-shot photo.
