hey how are yah. im new to this website with forums so i hope im doing this right. I have used the gillotines for 2 seasons now and they def work on turkeys. I shot a 28lb tom with a 10 1/2 beard and it dropped him instationly. It literly took his head off. the only downside to these is that there very easy to break, there hard to carrey, and you cant really shoot more than 25 yards with them. On the postive side you never wound a turkey with them and if u hit them u kill them!!!! hope this helped.
