Turkey hunting with a bow!
 

I got my first Turkey tag here in Wisconsin and I want to use my Bow. I was wondering what type of Broadheads you would use for this? Same as deer? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks.

I just got my Double bull blind and the video with it is awesome on turkeys. They use rocket bh but I am going to use my thunderhead 100s same as for elk. These guys are incredible and have a headshot club and show several headshots on gobblers. Good luck.

Good luck on your bowhuntin.
I have used muzzy 100gr with success. but, I'm goin with rocket sidewinder 100gr this spring. their 1 1/2&quot; cut, which is what you need for those turkeys, a wider head.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
ps- I wouldn't try a headshot with a bow<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

BHF, you actually want a larger cut for turkey
than you do for deer...the bigger the better.
That is why mechanicals are so popular for
turkeys. Any BH will do the job if put in the
right place, but I'd recommend one with a 1 1/2&quot;
cut or larger. I've seen excellent results with
NAP's Spitfires and Gobbler Getters, both have
a 1 1/2&quot; cut. Rocket actually makes a mechanical
for turkeys with a 3 1/2&quot; cut!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> I can't
think of it's name but a few of the guys at my
bowshop used it last year with great success.
The hole that thing leaves is unbelievable...they
all said their gobblers dropped on the spot
without flopping or taking a step. I am strongly
considering this BH this spring after losing
a gobbler each of the last two seasons....even
had one fly away with my arrow in him.<img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>


Good Luck

Two Beards gives good advice I also feel that mechanicals work real well on turkeys. The big cuts help anchor them down.

the rocket blade is called the sledgehammer

I was thinking about using my bow this year. Ill let you guys know when i make my decision.

RE: Turkey hunting with a bow!
 

i found out during deer season that you can shhot right threw the screen blind material and it will not effect your accuracy. just thought it might help you not get busted. anothher thing if your gunna shoot threw your blind dont use mechanical heads(they open when they pass threw the material.) but rather a fixed blad with a muzzy grasshopper on it.
