All you need to do is put the limb in the hole on the main tree trunk, use the provided screws to set the limb with tighten until there is little to no gap around the base of limb. The limb also needs the plywood backnig put into the back and attached with screws i also glued mine its that simple.

Don't know about the turkey limbs, but I tried one of the bobcat limbs.  It's not the most natural looking limb around but it does fit well with the mount.  If you add a little something extra to it, algea, etc. it looks fine.

The ceadar ones in Van Dyke are really nice, and alot less expensive. I use them for all of my limb poses with turkeys and they work out really nice. Just my thoughts though.

Where there are flat places on the back drill a smallpilot hole, then screw the white plastic screws in. Then mark the center of the limb on the back and drill a hole there. Then place the board back in place and screw the screws through the board into the white screws and the middle limb. When you place your bird on the limb drill holes with the same size wire. Put the bird through the holes bend the wires around  under the limb and staple. Thenapoxie over the wire and paint. They work great and clients love them.
