expandables are the best they will leave a bigger cut hole and not penetrate fully so you won't lose your arrow also I have lost at least 5 birds with fixed blades never with expanibles

The larger the cutting diameter the better for turkeys. Expandables work great.

Just get some guillotines and chop their head clean off! [8D]

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I've always shot turkeys with a shotgun. When you shoot the turkey with a bow through the wing or up the pooper shooter does it ruin a lot of the breast meat?
