Got my first turkey with a bow today! Good feeling!

I got my first turkey with a Bow today! 22 yards and used a Rage two blade. Hit it perfectly and it took 4 steps and just collapsed! No flopping around at all! I don't even think it knew it got hit. What's weird is that the arrow didn't travel too far after it went completely through the bird. I was using my PSE Omen at 70lbs. Those feathers are tough! Not as big as my first Turkey I got with a shotgun but still an accomplishment to finally get one with a bow.
