WOW..Ill still stick with my Muzzy's though! Not a good idea if your looking for a mount!

How does one practice with these broadheads... anyone have any suggestions? I wonder if they can be fired at a regular foam target without penetrating it very far or bending the blades or anything.

I wouldnt think that penetrating would be strong with this broadhead...

Anyone else think this is pretty gruesome?

BTW, its the 4" cutting sircle one that I have.

Gruesome, perhaps, but if you hit the neck it should be much more humane. I only know personally 1 turkey bowhunter and he uses regular ol broadheads. He shot and lost 2 birds this fall. I tried telling him about this broadhead and showed him the video, not sure if he will try it or not. But I will be, so long as I cant get practiced with it which I am still trying to figure out how the heck to do that without damaging a bunch of blades.

*bump*

So no one that happend to be visiting the turkey forum the last few days has every used the Guillotine? Or have any practicing recomendations?

Tristan,
Maybe you could get ahold and ask the company?
I bet they would know, if you find out, I would be interested in the ideal setup!!

I can't imagine the penetration would be worth a flip on a target. Too much cutting surface. The larger the cutting diameter of a broadhead, the poorer the penetration. We've used 2" mechanical broadheads in the past with good luck. Video's kindapoor(first attempt at filming), but we put the edited down version on our website. http://www.backwoodscalls.com/pics2.html,and click on thelink for "Opening Morning 2005". Just limit your shots to 20 yards, and anything will work fine. Just hit 'em where the wing joins the body, dead-center the spine, or Texas heart shot. The trick is to get to the baseball-sized vital area in the chest. It's alot harder to hit the head than the body, but I guess if you miss him you miss him.
