I will be getting my first crossbow this spring and I'm kicking around the idea of using it during Turkey season. I have been turkey hunting for years but never with a bow.
I'm curious if there is anything I need to know. With the shotgun I'm used to aiming for the head. Is shot placement different with the bow (I'm assuming so).
The main thing I'm worried about is broadheads. I see there are broadheads for sale that are turkey specific. Is this necessary? Can I just use whatever I would use for deer?
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Clint,
Go to Crossbow Hunting Room, see Turkey shot placement, stated by Wired Wrong... 6:48 seconds of where to put you arrow in every situation! Enjoy! I don't recall specific Broadhead suggestions, but there were headshots, which, I assume, were made by Broadheads.
