Last year, Robert Ulickey, of West Bend, arrowed a new state record gobbler. Until now, only his friends and family knew about the accomplishment. The gobbler Ulickey shot had five beards, weighed 20.375 pounds, and had spurs that measured 1.50 and 1.375 inches. The total score was 125.625.
The longest beard measured 10.5 inches, and the total length for all beards was 38.25 inches.

Who handles the record? Is there a program? Nwtf? Or similar foundation? Beard(s)+weight+spurs??

Turkeys are scored as -
Weight + beard x2 + both spurs X 10 = score
22lb tom, with 10" beard, and 1 1/4 spurs would be
22+20+25 = 67 points
With non-typicals, you add all of the beards and they're in a separate category.
It's the NWTF formula, most states keep records.

Are there separate categories for bow/gun?

Also, besides multiple beards, is there anything that makes a turkey non-typical?

Nice beards.
Most likely, Robert will never have to work another day in his life.
