RE: Turkey hunting with bow

I have shot all my turkey with just regular broadheads, does the trick. There are some specialty tips, i am not a huge turkey hunter and have been interested in spending the money.

Definately has to be a broadhead design be it mechanical or fixed and you'll want the same sharpness from your heads as if your hunting any big game animal.

RE: Turkey hunting with bow

The first time I hunted turkeys with a bow I killed one with a spitfire.
The other day I was watching Double Bull's show on the Mens channel and they were using the Guillatine (sp?) broadhead. It was 125 gr and had a 4" cutting diameter. It is designed for head shots. Either you missor it takes the head clean off. I am thinking about trying them next spring.
