This spring will be my first turkey hunt with the bow; the more I read the more I hear about guys putting springs behind there broadheads? I was just wondering if anyone does this and why, do you use a spring similar to what is on a judo point?

Any feed back would be great.
Thanks Myck

yes, similar to a Judo point. The main idea is to keep the arrow from completely passing thru the bird, keeping the arrow in the bird I suppose makes it impossible for the bird to fly off. Several broadhead companys are making heads for turkeys, NAP has one, I believe, called the gobbler getter.

These collars certainly aren't necessary however. They only add weight and make arrow flight that much more erratic. Shoot a large mech b-head and even lower your poundage a little if you like. I really love the big cuttin' Rockets like these Slammerheads.

I agree with IL-Cornfed

Go with a large cutting diamter mechanical & you will be in great shape & not have to add a bunch of weight to the arrow.

The broadhead IL-Cornfed is a very good one & the one I am using is the Rocky Mountain Gator XP. Either way you will have some serious turkey thumping!

Good Luck
