Turkeys are amazingly hard to kill sometimes with a body shot. I lost two birds last spring hit pretty well with NAP Spitfires. A buddy of mine said the secret was to keep the head in the bird - either by shooting a 40 lb bow or by using some sort of penetration control device. For me, the latter worked well. I used the ASP washer between a 75 Muzzy and the insert. The Grasshopper washer also works well. Very difficult for the bird to run or fly with a broadhead stuck in him.
Roskoe: When you lost those birds, did the Spitfires passthru or did the blades fold up and the arrow fall out of the bird? Just wondering since I'm using Spitfires. I just thought since I'm using only 50lbs that penetration would be limited.
