Turkey Broadheads

[4buck]

Wondering what kind of broadheads you use for turkeys? Does the gobbler guillotine really work? I let one get away last year while I was deer hunting....makes me sick to wound one. Turkey season is in duringarchery season for deer in IL and I see them all the time where I hunt. So, this year, especially before rut, I'm going to set up for them, just want to be properly equipped.Do most of you go for a shot that pins their hips or a head/neck shot. The one I shot wentthrough justbelow the neck,kinda forward toward the breast.....it laid down in a field for over 1/2 hr,then I went to get it and it flew off. I really don'tthink it died because there was a group of9 toms, then 8 for a fewa couple weeks, then back to 9.....I think he just took a couple weeks off on his own? Thanks.

I use Gobbler Getters. iv only shot one with it but it has some knock down power! It really depends what way the turkey is facing. If hes facing toward you shoot right above the beard, away shoot right inbetween the shoulder blades, if the fan is up and hes facing away shoot right at the base of the fan.

I've heard a lot of good things about the guillotine. I think I am gonna go with those next spring. If you decide to go with something else, I strongly suggest mechanical broadheads with as big of a cutting diameter as you can get! Good luck.

Thanks for the info., I'll probably give themechanicals a shot,after looking more at theguilloitines....how the heckdo you put one in a quiver?????? Looks like a pain to me.

Since I hunt out of a ground blind and shoot through the mesh, I can't use the mechnicals. I harvested mine this past spring with a NAP crossfire, but I also waited until the perfect broadside shot. With such a small cutting diameter, I am not sure I would be comfortable with any other shot.

I've used those guillontines and there great at close range,but at long range give me a expandable any day.
