The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
Has anyone seen the Guillotine broadheads for turkey hunting? The are meant for head and neck shots. If so, what do you think? Again I have mixed feelings...
They look deadly, but Iwould have to get new, longer arrows because the tip of the arrow has to stick outside of your riser. What do you think??? |
RE: The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
I've seen them before, and in the hands of agood shooter, they seem to be very effective. I think they go something like 2.5" dia. for the 100 gr. heads and 4" in the 125gr.
I would think that since the blades are rather thin and perpendicular to the line of flight they would tend to break very easy. I've seen them in stores and they go for about $12 a head, seems a bit pricey since it'll only work with turkey. http://www.arrow-dynamic-solutions.com/gobbler_guillotine.htm#THE%20GOBBLER%20GUILLOTINE |

They are made for neck and head shots which leads to a harder shot and a worse chance of slaying a mature tom. It also is another way to make turkey hunting and the sport a little more challenging.....

yeah i've got a double bull video with lots of footage on those head shots with the guillotine. They are awesome heads. I'd definitley give them a go if I had many turkeys where I live.

rocket (tom o hawk )and just slam them

RE: The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
die hard beat me to it. The double bull guys use them, and on the video they decap 3 birds. If you use the straws that come with them over the blades, they do fly good. Personally though, I don't like them, and for a couple of reasons. What happens if you shoot low and hit the bird in the body. You will most definetly wound the bird. Getting very little penetration. If you miss altogether, no problem. Also, in Missouri, the head has to be intact until the butchering process. If I were to decap one, I would be in violation of MO law.
If you ask my honest opinion, I say go with a good, big diameter mechanical head for turkeys. They have a small vital area, so the large diameter is needed for maximum damage. Also, they burn alot of KE and hopefully stay in the bird to keep him from flying off. Just my 2 cents. |

They just run away. Just like shooting a deer with a blunt. Clean miss or clean kill. Yes you are supposed to shoot a different arrow also. I believe the maker of the GG also build an arrow. |
RE: The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
For those that have used them how do you practice with them? The reason is I have talked with others that haved used these broadheads and they have said thatthese headsdon't hold up well for a singe shot let alone several shots.Without practice I don't know if I'd hunt with them.

RE: The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
i took both of my birds last spring with these heads they say to use their arrows but i used gold tip full lengh arrows with 5 inch feathers and they flew fine out to 20 yards.a draw back is they are big and they will not fit in a quiver so i carried them in a zip lock container until i got to where i was going. and yes the blades do break easy i broke both heads i shot. i have one left and will use it this spring but i will not buy anymore.

RE: The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
How do you carry them in the field?...They can't possibly be compatible with any quivers I've ever owned!
|
RE: The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
IEL.....It is like shooting a great big Judo point. It probly hurts like hell but it wont kill them. They will run off but they will live another day. Like I said it is like shooting a deer with a blunt.

RE: The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
I asked about these in an earlier post with not much response.
I to was curious about how good they were and if they would work well on a larger bird like a Canada goose?I think i would like to try them because of the its either dead instantly or its a miss |
RE: The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
I think I'm going to steer away from them also. To pricey for something that breaks easy, is inconvenient, and more challenging.

I have them, haven't had a shot at a turkey yet. A whisker bisquit type rest will tear up the feather fletchings of the special arrow you need to use to shoot the gobbler guillotine head aftera couple dozen shots. I am going to site mine in, then get it refletched for the season.

RE: The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
Well, from what I am reading here.........I ain't impressed. They are expensive to begin with, not very durable....AND I need a "special" arrow to shoot them??????? Sounds like a ........oh what's the word..........
SCAM!! Yeah, that's it. No thanks. I'll stick with arrows I ALREADY have and shoot a big rocket or something at em. Shoot....if Keith can hit one in the head with the Hammerhead.....so can I. |

Got a system I use already though. |
RE: The Gobbler Guillotine broadhead ???
I still want to know how you carry them in the field!
