Turkeys ~ Mechanical or Fixed Blade
 

I am just curious what type of broadhead everyone prefers to use when hunting turkeys with bow. Mechanical or Fixed Blade? I've heard two stories:

Fixed Blade because it is what I shoot deer hunting and the do the job, so people say why adjust for turkeys.

Mechanical because you don't what a pass through with a turkey or else the have a better chance of flying away. Mechanical will do the job and wont pass through.

Either one I'm sure will work fine, but I'm just wondering what everyone prefers.

I normally use fixxed head's for large game ,but use Nap Spitfire Gobbler Getter's 100gr [mechanical]for turkey's with Muzzy Grasshopper's to prevent the arrow from passing completely through .
