Default RE: Turkey hunting with the bow?

Now I havent done this so here is another question so be easy on me, Ok to use my 2 blade rage? I will do a search and see if their are specialty heads
for turkeys.
IHIGHLY recommend the NAP Gobbler Getter for turkeys. With turkeys, a complete pass through is LESS desired as there will be little to no blood trail anyway.

The tip of Gobbler Getter is rounded and almost as blunt as the end of your finger to prevent a complete pass through and to provide more of a "knockdown" phenomen when the arrow strikes.

While far from and expert, I have killed 11 turkeys with these broadheads and have yet to lose a turkey, including a very poor shot on one that hit too far back, but because the arrow did not pass through, I was able to chase the turkey down.

It is also a good idea and recommended by most to reduce your bow poundage as well, as to minimize the possibility of a pass through. i.e. 50# something is better than high 60's or 70# for turkey.
