Turkey bow shot?

Hi, I was wondering what everyone thinks is better to conserve meat on a turkey. Should I use a shotgun, or a crossbow??? [?]

    My home computer is to slow, I can't watch the video. I'll have to check it out tomorrow at work.

    ** Cool video clip!!

    A.Gun, have you got any turkeys so far? If you have a few to your name go try with your bow. It's tuff, but worth it.
    If you haven't shot many turkeys then I'd stay with a shotgun just so you don't get discouraged.
    Oh yeah, conserve meat........If you figure up every penny you spend to shoot a turkey then your best off to go to the grocery store instead. BUT I'll be out next Saturday. [:p]

    3 gobblers in three days using the wasp boss bullets right dead in the boiler room and no lost meat.

    notice how the gulotines blades break off after the bird is hit these are a one time shot

    the 3 birds I took was shot with the same arrow and broadhead and still just like new!

    Picture of A.Gun with his first Turkey bagged with his new Rem.870 12 Ga. First morning of the Ohio Youth only "Gobbler Hunt".

    Only took him a half an hour.We spotted six birds in a field the evening before and seen one a struttin so we returnd to that same place at first light and set up.He called a little and soon they appeared at 20 yards just like we had planned.
