From what I have read you should use mechanical. I haven't done a lot of bow hunting for turkey (I want to start doing so soon). Mechanical will cut a larger diameter. There was a thread just like this about a month ago in the archery forums. Do a search and I am sure you will find it!

Although I never hunted a gobbler with the bow before, (there tuff enough with a gun at times), I have read many posts stating that a mechanical head usually will have better accuracy than a fixed bladed headand that the Rocket 100gr Hammerhead with it's 2" cut is a deadly mechanical to use on turkeys!!

Maytom, although I agree whole heartily that a big cutting diameter mechanical is ideal for turkeys, they are not more accurate than fixed blades. A perfectly tuned bow will shot both just as accurately. A bulleye is a bulleye regardless of heads. I have several broadheads grouping together, two being a RM Snyper and the other a Muzzy 100 gr 3 blade.

Rob, I agree 100%, but the words "perfectly tuned bow" doesn't apply to the majority of bowhunters out there. Most guys don't take the time to do that, hence the mechanicals will shoot best in that situation.

Fixed or mechanical for Turkeys
