One that is very sharp and placed in the vitals!Or, one that is very sharp with a very large cutting diameter that is placed in the head/neck area. Both are very effective.

Your favorite deer hunting broadhead right through the vitals should do the trick quite nicely. If you want a BH just for turkey the new magnus bullheads look pretty neat. http://www.magnusbroadheads.com/bullhead.html

A regular deer hunting broadhead will work just fine for a body shot, if you can keep it from blowing through the turkey. Either a low poundage bow or some arrow accessory to limit penetration (Grasshopper washer or Adder washer) will prevent a pass through. With the head stuck in the bird, they are pretty much toast. Can't run. Can't fly.

I like the 125gr. hypershock, just for turkey, not deer. Flies well, and has a 2 3/4" cut.

You gonna mount it? No?

RAGE.

I used the spitfire, last year. And although mine passed through at 30 yds......my bird only went 10. I'll likely use the same head, this year.

I just got a pack of 2 blade rages on sale at Cabelas. Hopefully they will get to taste some turkey blood this spring as well as pronghorn this coming fall in SD.
