There's a couple of them out there. The Gobbler Guillotine by Arrow Dynamics, New Archery Products has the Spitfire Gobbler Getter and Magnus has the Bullhead.

I don't think any of them are 15 dollars or less a pack.

Illegal in most states!

I have always prefered a large cutting mech. These heads really shine when it comes to turkey thumpin'!

Excellent choices would be NAP Gobbler Gettters, Rocket Hammerheads, Rage, and other large cutting heads.

Probably most of the head/neck shots are using either the Magnus Bullhead or the Guilliotine, both are head/neck shot only broadheads. Some people have a hard time getting them to fly good, because of the large 3" and 4" blades.

I agree with IL-cornfed, there are several mech. broadheads with 1.5" - 2" open diameter that are excellent choices for turkeys.
