use what you use for deer. You still have to hit them where you are aiming. I use Rocky Moutain Iron Heads. Fixed blade. It shoots good for me. I think I am going to switch to the Rage 2 blade next year so I will probly shoot them this spring.

I've used the NAP GG with success, but man, I might need to look at the Bullhead. Looks Narly! I'm a broadhead collector, anyway!

I was going to use the rage this season, but GMMAT scared me from using them on turkeys :D, you never know, you may want a mount without alot of repair work. my last season bird got a generic expandable stuck in him shooting a cranked down 63 lbs, it hung with him, ill probably use them again, after sharpining.

The damage a broadhead does on a Turkey if you are considering a Full Mount has been a concern of mine. I have an Eastern Full Mount, but not a Merriam. Even though I have killed 2 Merriams there was so much damage to them both that I didn't want to use them for a Full mount. Even the Slick Trick did a lot of damage!:(

Maybe I'll just use a Blunt to the head:eek:

A well placed shot with a good sharp head will kill any turkey. Some people like for the arrow to stay in the turkey but a 1 inch wild slice through the vitals and he is DEAD.


This is true, but a DEAD turkey and a DEAD RECOVERED turkey are two different things. Turkeys tend to leave very little if any blood trail and I want something that is going to knock them down and hopefuly leave an arrow in them.

The Gobbler Getter which is mentioned in this thread, is by far the best braodhead for turkeys, imo.
Because it is blunt on the end and does not "slice" right through the bird, it tends to literally knock the bird down with the arrow still in them. A good shot will leave the bird dead right there. A marginal shot will usually keep the bird on the ground as the arrow is still in the bird making it a lot easier to run the turkey down and recover.

I really dont feel like re-sighting in for a new BH if I dont need too.
If you are serious about killing AND recovering a bird, you need to reduce your bow poundage to the minimum so as to REDUCE penetration and you will therefore need to re-sight anyway.

i have killed a few turkeys with a bow and a fix blade is not the key i dont think. i have killed mine with rocket mini blasters. a mechanical is much better. like the other people have said as well if it worked once why mess with it. i would keep doing what your doing

I used the Gobbler Guillotine (sp?) last spring. One Tom was be-headed and the other was hanging by a quater inch of flesh. The only negative with the head is the blades take a beating and they are a pain on the move. To shoot and actually see a fricken head pop off is a bit of a trip in it's own.

I Agree! Turkeys are the only thing I would even consider a mechanical on any more;)
