Definitely think you should use the Rage. A judo point is only meant for small game. Some turkeys won't even go down if you don't hit them just right with a BH. Keep the judo's in the quiver for squirrels and rabbits, use the rage or another BH for the turks.

no a practice tip is just a broadhead that hasnt been sharpened making it about as effective as a judo point.

only use BHs for turkeys....the bigger the cutting diameter the better. some people put adder points behind expandables to keep them from fully opening creating even bigger cutting diameters and keeping the arrow from passing through the turkey. better chances of a clean kill if arrow remains in turkey.
