My pro shop guy says he only uses mechanicals for hunting turkeys. Never for deer, but he says the Spitfire has a lot more shock power and doesn't believe penetration is an issue with Toms. What do most of you folks use? Currently I've been using some Thunderheads I had in a drawer. I'm new to Turkey hunting but have taken a lot of deer, and I've never used mechanicals. Opinions please?

I tend to believe in the same line of thinking as your pro shop. Penetration is not as crucial as pinpoint accuracy and maximum area of damage. For these reason a larger cutting diameter mechanical is ideal for turkey....again, in my opinion.

Another vote for the mechanical for turkeys from me. I did get a turkey last year with a thunderhead 100 while deer hunting but I made a great hit and got lucky. The arrow passed thru without even slowing down. The bird ran instead of flying and only went about 25 yards.

I believe that the gobbler getter that I now have for this will be a much better choice. My son will be trying them out in a few weeks. He is still trying to catch his old man. Guess time will tell.
