I shoot them in the hips. If they cant run, they cant fly. Go up and ring their neck. Very effective shot.

Thanks for the info Howler.
I'm thinking about using them this spring instead of traditinal broadheads.
How do they fly?

Whats up with a 4" cutting circle! Why don't you just use a hand gernade...
It sounds like the broadheads work in most cases, but look at the problems!
Shoot what flies best from your bow & put it in the "yellow spots" from that previous post w/the photos are and you will kill that turkey period...
In order to shoot a turkey you need to be a good shot,and the only way you become a good shot is by practice!
I shoot every other day for 20/30 mins,then every day for 15/20 during the season & 25/30 percent of that w/2blade broadheads.
Limit your shot distance to 20 yards or less? My first bird was @ 4 yards the arrow was buried in the ground...

Ihave only kille done turkey,I shot him in the back at 17 yards while he was walking to my hen decoy. He flew 70 yards across the field I was hunting, and into the woods. I found him 15 minuted later. I was very lucky.

The 4" cut broadheads aren't made for "body" shots on turkeys. The head and neck is the ONLY shot that they will be effective on, and VERY effective they are. You do your part with them, and there will be NO tracking, garuanteed!
