Turkeys, Broadheads or Mechanical
 

This is for all the Stick and Strang shooters,

I was just curious about what types of set ups everybody is using for tips while turkey hunting- Are you using fixed Broadheads with adders or a Broadhead/washer or just a Big Broadhead- Or have you had better success with Mechanical tips? And what kind of mechanicals- I was thinking about trying some of the Spitfire Gobbler Getters this year although I've never been a big mechanical freak.

On a related note I just saw a broadhead today at the Harrisburg Sport Show that you may want to check out. It was called the Gobbler Guillotine. It was a fixed-blade head with a 4" CUTTING DIAMETER!! It was tremendous, a chisel point in the middle and 4 wide swooping fixed blades. They we're playing a video of hunts using the head and it was devastating. Some of the birds we're actually decapitated completely. Guys were intentionally taking head shots bacause there is so much room for error with all that cutting area.

I might try it this spring with my bow, I was thinking of just using Rocket Hammerheads.

I use mechanicals. They provide a bigger cutting diamter and a more devastating wound. Also, the added area keeps the arrows from passing all the way through, which is what you want with turkeys. Sometimes putting washers behind fixed blade heads will bounce off the turkeys. I have seen the Guillitine, awesome broadhead, but its strictly head shots. The video for these broadheads was posted on the bowhunting site. Maybe the technical site, i dont remember. But search through the first few pages and you should find it, there really interesting.

Who makes that Gobbler Gullotine broadhead PABeardbuster? WOW
4" cut is unbelieveable what kinda weight was the broadhead?

RE: Turkeys, Broadheads or Mechanical
 

Im trying Rocket hammerheads this year. 2 inch cutting diameter. Watched them use it on the Wild Outdoors show. They jacked up some turkeys with hammerheads.

RE: Turkeys, Broadheads or Mechanical
 

I saw the video of the guilotine the other day and it looked pretty good. The only thing I don't like about it is that if you do hit a turkey in the body, it will bounce off. I am trying to find a good broadhead for turkeys too. I tried the 2" mechanicals and they were not all that great on the turks. I don't know what would be good, but I am anxious to find out. BB

RE: Turkeys, Broadheads or Mechanical
 

Yep Vance...in fact I hear BT calls em in so close I was thinkin about knife in mouth Daniel Boone style in it!!!An old fashion turkey wrestle!!!:D:D:D

RE: Turkeys, Broadheads or Mechanical
 

You should be very pleased with the spitfire gobbler getters, my buddy used them the last couple years with some good success. Every bird he hit he got.

RE: Turkeys, Broadheads or Mechanical
 

Whoaaa, That Gobbler Gullotine is insane!!!!!!!!

I'm assuming the blades are fully extended the entire time right??

No way of closing them?

RE: Turkeys, Broadheads or Mechanical
 

My only question is the blades don't fold up, so do you really think you are going to get it to fly at 20 yards! I also saw them at the show, and I don't see how, with that blade sticking out how you are going to keep it from planing like ten times worse than a fixed blade broadhead. Also, there is no practice blade to even try to see where you are hitting in relation to your field points. If you shoot one of them chances are you are going to break one or more of the blades, if you watched the video of where he shot the turkey, he broke one of his blades! Hope they work, but, I think you are going to be dissapointed.

I'll be using Rocket Sledgehammer's (150 gr.) w/a
3 1/2" cut and my BT Patriot set at 67 lbs. when
hunting from my DB blind.

...and I'll be shooting NAP Spitfires (100 gr) w/a 1 1/2"
cut, from my FX set at 55 lbs when hunting on the
go.

Both, are excellent turkey BH's[:-]. I'm considering
giving the Wasp Jak-Hammers a try, heard some
good things about them also.
