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

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.
