Default RE: broadheads for turkeys?

Upon the advice of someone with considerable experience in bowhunting turkeys, I'm leaving my blades sharp. I was somewhat concerned about getting the tips ground off square and consistent. Made a jig out of a piece of 9/16" diameter tool steel. Drilled and tapped a 8X32 hole with a .204 clearance hole (just like an arrow insert) - put the jig in a 9/16" collet. Running the lathe at high speed, I used a tool post grinder to cut a consistent flat on the point of each head. It worked great. I reasoned that the flat tip would get through the screen of the double bull blind better than a rounded tip.
