I have used NAP expandables on the three birds I have taken with a bow... that was before the guillotine and that new one have come out.

I use the guillotine. It is fantastic if you connect.

Some type of expandable will be best. I've heard good things about the NAP spitfires. Also the guillotine look sweet. You should check the video out for them.

I've only shot one with a bow and I used a Rocket Hammerhead. 2" expandable. Hit him right, and WOW it did the job. Only lost a spoonfull of meat, hit him just 1" to his left and high of the base of the beard... cut the wishbone, buried the arrow to the fletchings. Bird did a backflip, went about 30 yards and buried up under a log and died before I could get to him.

Expandables are best for turkeys IMO. I like the NAP Gobbler Getter. They have a blunt tip rather than a trocar. They tend to hit harder and have a little more shock when they connect. Any large cutting diameter expandable will work however.

If using a fixed blade you should put some kind of stopper behind the broadhead.
