Default turkey broadheads question

How do you guys site in these oversized monster broadheads?
Type of target? do they fly similar to regular fixed broadheads?

If your talking about gobbler getters and bull heads, i have wondered this myself. looks like some broken blades would be in order sighting them in. I have no idea!! but im curious to.

I'm guessing you gotta waste 1 or 2 and keep your shots close range.

No real experiance tho.

I've seen guys miss with a 12 gauge![8D]

I may use the Bullheads in MO. I'm sure I'll have to practice with one. Just my nature

BHF, if I miss I'll be sure and let you know how easy it was

Guilotines are not for body shots. The smaller bullheads and gobbler getters would be fine. I would waste one of them sighting it in if I shot them. Good for me, I shoot rages for turkey. But now my block target seems to be cut in half...[&o]These bigger BHs eat targets very quickly, no matter the brand. Buy the cheapest open foam target you can, and shoot away till its gone, or find a big chunk of foam, such as from an old marina at the lake, and shoot into it from different sides.

I just bought two empty bad targets from a guy over on AT whomakes emand stuffed them myself, I feel like a major DA after buying bag targetsevery year. Got these covers, 5 spots to shoot at on each side, flat black with out all that flashy distracting colors, for 7 bucks each. Stuff em with old blankets, burlap, shirts, rags, towels, etc. sew em shut up top and you officially saved yourself mega dough. They are really big bags as well. I think 30x30 but Id have to check. FPs only though.
