Hunting long beards.

I was just wanting to know if I should drop my poundage (60) of my bow, to hunt turkeys.

Depends on your let-off, and how long you can comfortably hold your bow at full draw. If you can't hold for at least 90 seconds, and still make a good shot, it needs to be backed down. More time is better. JMHO

I don't know that I would bother. Especially if you are hunting from a blind. The whole secret is drawing on them and not getting busted. Just know that you can't draw unless his head is concealed, best is when they are strutting facing away. That happens to be a great shot on them as well so if you're drawn you can shoot. Take it from me, shoot them in the back or in the head and you can't go wrong. Good luck this spring!
