RE: Gobbler Guillotines
they surely do look effective. but they are costly, take arrows that would need bought, and are fragile. i would never hunt with a head i didnt/couldnt really practice with. especially talking turkey head shots. thats a target that ALWAYS moves. good idea...just not something everyones gunna like.
BTW...love the lawn mowers in the background

My faux turkey head;
Mauser, I completely understand what you mean about not trusting something you couldn't practice with. All I can say is that they flew exactly like my field points out of my set up.
All in all, it cost me $80 for my Gobbler Guillotine set up.
$40 for the heads.
$40 for the Gold Tips.
Worth it?
We'll see come April.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines
I think the main allure to these is to whack heads off; and nothing wrong with that. Our proshop has a video out by the maker of those heads where there must be 100 beheadings; some in slow motion and others regular speed. I see nothing wrong with this. I want to see some pics of you just posing with the head Dan. A closeup preferably.[8D]

Russell,
After the head went through the cucumber, it hit the Morrell Yellow Jacket I was using as a backstop. The point of the head went in, whereas the blades did not. They bent backwards while one broke where it connects to the head itself. There is only a small hook holding the blades in place, and this is where the blade snapped.

Man, y'all must not have much faith in my calling ability. Can't you folks pull a bird out of strut and have them stick their heads straight up trying to figure where the putting it coming from?
C'mon now, we're talking about me here.
