I pulled a few feathers off him though. I thought I hit him good after watching the video back so I look for him for quite awhile. Wasn't till I slowed down the video and noticed the small branch I nailed. It was just enough to throw the arrow off.

Drycreek x2. I could teach a masters level course on screwing up a shot on a strutting tom. Can't wait to do it again.

Realistic video. Not all archers hit every time as they might have you believe. This is one I can relate to. Thanks for posting it! Cool.

Me. Yesterday. Head shot at 9 yards. Head bobbed just as I shot and the arrow nicked the back of his neck. Didn't even make him run off but couldn't get a clear second shot.
I feel your pain.

Happened to me yesterday too. Took my time, rolled some footage and then botched the shot. I'm done with body shots. Switching back to Bullheads! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vME4c6bOlZI

Tackle, I thought that at first too. Believe me I look all over for that bird. When I got home I slowed the video down and if you watch closely the arrow goes through a few feathers just over the tail feathers.
The sound you hear is the twig I hit before it got to the bird. Gotta love lighted nocks.
To me I think turkeys are one of the toughest animals to bow hunt. After this miss it makes me 3 for 5 overall with the bow. Season just started I'm sure I'll have a few more opportunities.

I did it with a shotgun years ago after I pulled a giant tom across a river (I am NOT the best caller in the world), a very large field, chased off a jake and came all the way into 10 yards and I missed. I rarely get mad hunting but I was livid.

I did it twice Saturday at 9 yds. They came back and this time I used my Snuffer SS and got him.
