Doubled up with my buddy, 1,2,3 whapap! I think archery hunting turkeys tripped his trigger. He's killed a few with a boom stick but this was his first with a bow. He was pretty jacked all day yesterday!
6 yds is not a good distance to test penetration. Your arrow just came off your bow. It's still trying to recover from the deflection your string put on it upon the release. You are going to have poor penetration with just about any arrow at 6 yds. Especially a light arrow with low FOC like you...

But, it testifies to having a heavier arrow to get a pass through on your shot.
Turkeys are a pain in the ass to mount. That is why taxidermists charge so much. I've seen way to many mounts that look like a cartoon. Their owners think they look great and I wanna tell them that their mount looks like it went thru a wash machine. Very few taxidermist fall into the VERY GOOD...
