Turkey hunting with a long bow

I am curious to know if anyone has ever turkey hunted with any type of bow? If so, what broadheads did you use and how did they work?
I am going to try to harvest a Turkey this year with my Martin Long bow, that is IF I draw a tag..

I've taken em with a recurve and a compound always inside 30 yrds. Same broadhead I use on everything except fish. 100grn three blade muzzy. Took the head off of one once, wasn't aiming that way but don't tell nobody.

Thanks for the info. I have been using 1980's model Bear two blade chizzled broadheads, 125grains on deer. I guess we will see if they work on Turkey..

I shot two with the bow with a Bear Razorhead and a Rocky broadhead. Same as I hunted deer with. I went back to the shotgun because the broadhead really hacks a hole through them and if you open up the entrails it taints the meat. If you can hit the head or neck like with a shotgun I think it would be ideal.
