Default Turkey guillotine

Has anyone seen the video? Any thoughts? I don't think I like seeing a turkeys head cut off.

Two weeks ago I was in KS for the early archery season. Between myself and 3 others, we shot 4 turkeys with the guillotines, and only one was a clean decapitation. Don't know what there is to not like, after all, isn't a short tracking job and a quick death the end result that we all hope for.

The only reason I'm not using them is I really want to use the mesh on my blind and I'm not sure how they will work shooting through the mesh. I think I would rather have a nice clean decapitation with a bow than a bloody pulverized head with a shotgun but quite honestly I'd gladly take either one!

I have a small blind and a long wingspan. When I draw without the mesh in place my bow is very visible from outside the blind. With the mesh I'll be more confident about not getting busted, and I have practiced with it in place quite a bit. I know it won't affect the shot so why not use it for improved concealment? My bow is only visible without the mesh when I'm at full draw but why take the chance that a wary bird will bolt? BTW, I'm shooting Magnus Magnums 125 gr. COC 2 blade heads. I usually use 3 blade 100gr. Muzzy's but I really like how wide these Magnus heads are. They are also very easy to get scary sharp. And I've been shooting them very well for the past few weeks.
