To think that a head with 4 inch blades will fly just like your field points at every yardage is a bit of a leap in faith for me. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. I would certainly try it first to make sure.

So you are telling me that you are willing to go out and turkey hunt and wait until you see a turkey to see if you can miss or wound one? That does not make much sense to me. Not very ethical in my opinion either, but ethics are a personal thing. If you are OK with it I guess that is what matters. You wouldn't be hunting with me though, that is for sure.

I tried about 5 different loads in my shotgun I think before I found one I was happy with to turkey hunt. There is no way I would slap some big old head on one of my arrows and hope they shoot right. I mean c'mon, they don't fly right without the blades, what makes you think they will with them? The only way to know for sure is to try it. There has to be some sort of soft medium you can shoot into and not ruin them. If that is not the case they don't sound like very good blades to me. That is a LOT of money for something that fragile in my opinion.

The only issue I could see with them not having the same impact point as your field tips without the blades is a weight issue. They obviously do not weigh as much without the blades on them. However I have shoot arrows that were 100 grns off in weight together and still had them group better than that. If switching from one head to another effected things that much I would be looking for another problem, like spine issues, inconsistant arrows or your inserts not being true.

I just can't believe you are not willing to shoot them before you hunt with them. If you can't afford to do it right, then just use regular broad heads that you know will work.

As far as turkeys being dumb, I would like to hunt where you do. Where I live turkeys are about the hardest animal to hunt. If they had a decent sense of smell you would NEVER kill one, heck you would probably never see one.

Just my opinions anyway.
