Default Broadheads for Turkeys This Year?!?!?!?

Hey everyone first time turkey hunting with a bow this year and I am getting my setup ready now so I can sight everything in. I think I am going to go with the Magnus Bullheads but I don't know much about sighting them in and what arrows to use. I noticed on Magnus' website that they have a package of 2 bullheads and 2 victory arrows. Now I have only been shooting for about 4 months. So my question is that i saw that all of the Victory arrows are spined @ .300 which I'm pretty sure an arrow that is less stiff then what I am using now, and that the feathers are 4-5" long. I am using Beman Bowhunters that are .400's and they are fletched with a 2" feather. Is this to counter act the odd shape of the bullhead? I don't know I just need some guidance before it's too late to get what I need for the hunt in a month.

Ya I see alot of guys say that they use the same set up for deer as they do turkey. My thing is I have never been set up for either. I was also looking to see if anyone knew anything about the bullheads and how to set them up.

Yep I've killed them with my same set up for deer. Used a rage two blade two seasons ago . It was late season last tag. Anchored a good bird. He went nowhere.

Bullheads will require you to use longer arrows than you would normally shoot unless you use longer arrows in the first place. The BH needs to clear the arrow shelf or the blades will hit...

So, this requires you to use a possibly stiffer spine, with about a inch extra in front of the bow to clear the riser and your hands. Then you need to retune your setup.

Ya I think i'm going to go with Rage 2 Blade Turkey Broadhead and use them in the fall for deer as well. I think my best bet is to go up to my local shop and have them tune everything up for me that way it's on and I can practice with confidence.

I could not shoot them then. I shoot a Sniper Extreme sight system and it sticks out 8 inches in front of my bow riser. From my IBO days I guess. I would have to shoot a 40 inch arrow!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!
