Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

is it possible that these broadheads could be used for goose? they are meant for headshots on turkeys.



the website is: info on guillotines and pic


here is the videos and everything: video page


tell me what you guys think.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

If I had to guess I would say "yes" as geese do appear to be about the same, anatomicaly (spelling?) as turkeys in the head and neck region.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

i would think the same thing PA

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

Ditto on that. I don't see why it wouldn't work

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

I thought waterfowl had to be in flight to be shot at??? I am pretty sure shooting waterfowl on land or water is poaching in Ohio. I could be wrong though.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

In MI I think it is legal just not sporting to shoot birds on the water/land. A bow would change the "sporting" though.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

Same here in KY.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

What speed do you get. I'm not sure if a 24" draw with 40 lbs could do it. I'm not sure though. Also I don't think you can shoot waterfowl on the water. I do know a guy that shot one through the neck with a bow in the air.:D

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

I would say yes, but I wouldn't do it.

You want to lose your arrows in the water? Better set the bow up for Bow Fishing if you plan to hunt birds on the water. Especially with the price of those heads!

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

PA- one observation that may cause some problems... Geese have fully feathered heads and necks as opposed to turkey's exposed skin. Don't know how this will affect the arrow's effectiveness, but it definately should be considered.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

Good point. I had not considered that....and they also have that oily coating over their feathers to repel water. This could be an issue of KE/momentum though I would have no idea where to start in terms of estimating.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

I would have to say no considering the feathers. They will act as protection. The blades will need to be edged back like a broadhead and not straight out so they slice instead of cut. You can't get through feathers by cutting them, you need to slice.

For example, take a pillow and a sharp knife. Put the knife straight out, like the blades on the gobbler guillotine, and hit the sharp side against the pillow. Then take it and then slice at the pillow's end with an angle on the knife. The slicing will cut it but the hit won't. The blades need to be at an angle in order to kill the goose.

Don't really do that it is an example.:D

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

wow i got a lot of different opinion on this. i would have shot at them on the land not in the water. there is a short strip of beach that the are always on!;) so that is my chance. ill let everyone kno what happens this fall.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

Can you shoot them on land?

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

Squirrel you aren't going to kill them. You will just wound them so don't try it. You aren't shooting a bow that is very powerful and you have plenty of feathers to get through. Don't do it.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

ok then ill go with my 20 gauge. is 1 1/4 oz of #6 shot enough?

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

I was going to suggest that. How close will you shoot? I would suggest some #4 STEEL shot. You need steel incase you didn't know. Also what choke?

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

o yea thats right lol i will get some steel shot instead of lead shot. i am using a modified choke. and my shots will be about 25 yards and under. i patterned it for turkey this way. i could hit 30 yards but i would have to compensate.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

How many pellets you get in at 25 yards. Draw a target about the size of a goose and check. Do you have a bigger gun like a 12 gauge?

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

im 12 years old i cant handle a 12 yet.... but then again i never tried it.

RE: Gobbler Guillotines for goose?
 

My 20 kicks harder than my 12.
