Shooting a recurve, I would shy away from the guliotinne.. I would think any good 2 blader would work, such as a Magnus Stinger, or any variation. The gobbler guolitinne is would and does work, they are made for head shots. They have a 4 inch cut, with a fixed blade. They will not penetrate a turkey in the vital area. Or, at least, I sure don't think they will.
