Default RE: B-Head for turkeys?

ORIGINAL: ampahunter

There's lots of fun broadheads to use.
The only disadvantage with using the Gobbler Guillotine is it has to be used in combination with the Arrow Dynamic shaft and it's pretty much just for 'head & neck shots'.
The same guys who designed the Gobbler Guillotine has come up with another head called the ATOM--don't know if it's on the market as yet--but saw it at the ATA show.
For me, I found the 'Grim Reaper' heads do quite a respectable job--can't go wrong with the Reaper for the turkeys.
I does not have to be used only with the Arrow Dynamics shaft. I have seen many pics of turkeys killed with different shafts than the Arrow Dynamics brand. (Arrow Dynamics and Arrowdynamic Solutions are two different companies). The main thing is that the shaft be long enough to allow the head to sit a couple inches in front of the riser, and that the fletchings be larger and helical. They recommend carbon arrows, because aluminum ones will bend under the kind of KE that this design delivers during sudden stops. The Arrow Dynamics brand is tapered to maximize KE and arrow stability.

Yes just head and neck shots, but that's a much larger kill zone than vitals with a fixed or mechanical head.

The Atom is on the market now. You can order them from their website.
