Default Turkey Hunting Broadheads

What is a good turkey broadhead? Just a regular brohead? What about those heads that are like 4 inches across and when you shoot them you aim at their head and neck. Are they any good?

That's the Gobbler Guilotine... GIMMICK!!! I seen it at the ATA show and watched the videos and talked w/ the guys. They didn't awnser when I asked what happens when you hit a twig or blade of grass... Also they recomends that you shoot full helical 5 1/2" feathers just to control the darn thing. If you watch the videos... you see on one of them where the head EXPLODES on impact... did I mention that they were like $40 for 3? I'll stick w/ the good old expandables for turkeys.

If the turkey is facing you, "center mass". If its a broadside shot, aim for where the wing is connected to the body.

Plus you can't use those Gobbler Guillotines from a blind if you're using screens. And how do you practice with them? In order to fly right, they have sheaths over the blades that cut away on impact. Wouldn't that get expensive replacing those sheaths every shot you took in practice?

I just shoot a 3 blade broadhead with a 1" plastic washer attached between broadhead and arrow shaft to slow my arrow down and avoid complete pass throughs.

Would the washer setup work with a shoot-through screen on a blind? I'm guessing it would, as long as the diameter of the washer is slightly less than that of the broadhead.

The Rocket Slammerheads are an AWESOME choice for smashin' Gobblers. This excellent b-head shoots as accurate as anything you'll find and it opens a devastating 1 3/4" cut. Plus the straight blade tips allow you to shoot it thru the mesh of a groound blind. You've got to check these b-heads out!?!?!?
