Default RE: Which BH for turkey? UPDATED

OK, here is what happened today. I tried shooting through the mesh with adders installed. Accuracy was not effected but the mesh was shredded where they went through. Not a clean cut like with the BH only. Also the adders slid down the shaft almost to the fletching. They never touched the Morrell's BH target. So the experiment showed me what I needed to know. This is what I have decided to go with. Easton alum 2018 fletched with 3 feathers, (darkest colors I have), and I'm going with the Muzzy's. I'll shoot them with used blades that I will sharpen but not scary sharp.
I usually shoot Easton Axis 340s with Blazers and wraps. They are much too brightly colored. I also wanted more weight, hence the aluminum arrows. The feathers are for weight and the darker colors I have. I'll use 2 dark blue and one dark red. I will shoot through the mesh I think, its a confidence thing and that to me is important. Now that I have decided what I'm taking afield I will, much like today, practice,practice,practice! Also the shafts are some of the older Gamegetters. They are a very dark green, almost black. Better concealment I think.
