depends on the shot you wanna take. a body shot should be done with a good mech or COC with a good cutting dia.
a head shot should be done with a BH designed for it like the gobbler guiotine

any broadhead will work fine, u can use the same ones that you use for deer.

I use the same broadhead for deer, turkey, bear, and hog.....Grim Reaper 100gr Razortips.

I'm going for my 1st bow turkey as well......also using some rage 2 blades.

im going to try bowhunting for turkeys this year for the first time. im going to be using my rage 2 blade. im going to try and get a neck shot at them

I deer hunted with the rage 2 blade and i loved them so i'm also going to be going with the rage this year for turkeys. I have use muzzys in the past and like them too. I got the rage broadheads for a birthday present and hunted deer with them and they cut unbelievably so i'm curious how they are going to work on turkeys.

This could get expensive real quick. My girlfriend and I use thunderhead 85 grain broadheads. She smoked one last spring from 20 yards and he didn't go 20 yards.

yea i'm not sure i'd use the rage for a neck shot. you gonna have to be able to drive tacks with your bow just a little off and its a miss.

My first bird was taken with a muzzy 100gr 3 blade, shot, cut the wing and he dropped.

I have switched over to the Rocket broad head, and an using the hammer head, it has a 2 inch (3 blade) cutting diameter. I shoot at long range and the muzzys didn't cut it a 50 + yds

but my bow shoots over 270 fps which is the recommended speed (or faster of course) for the head.
