I think someone may have asked this a while back, but I couldn't find the post, so here it is...what broadhead do ya'll suggest to hunt turkey with? This will be my first season to bow hunt, so I don't really have a good idea of what is best and most effective for birds.
Any help is really appreciated!
Thanks,

spitfire gobbler getters
excellent heads

good luck

I like Rocket Hammerheads,large diameter will give you a little more margin for error and do a lot of damage. Try for a setup that will expend all the arrows energy on the bird and not passthru completely it will improve your chances of a quick easy recovery. Good hunting but be warned when you stick one it'll be hard to pick up a gun again. It was for me anyway.

I've had success with these 3 models.

Rocket Sledgehammer....150 grs, IMO the "king daddy" of turkey BH's-
3 1/2" cut and does a LOT of damage!

4 Blade Rocket Hammerhead...108 grs w/ a 2" cut

Nap Spitfire....100 grs with a 1 1/2" cut - sometimes I will use a adder
point behind the BH, it weighs 25 grs


Good luck this season.

How about the Gobbler Guillitine?

wes,I have no doubt the GG will do the job,it is intended for head shots only,but that puts you shooting at a small,very quick,constantly moving target unless you putt to get him standing at attention at full alert. That is fine for gun when you are throwing a 10 or so inch circle of lead at him at 12-1400 fps,but an arrow at 240-300 fps gives him more time to duck,jerk out of the way of a 4in X. I do feel the GG is a clean kill or clean miss head,I feel better with a relaxed,slightly larger target that I can shoot at from several angles,struting or not. Just my opinion

Thanks guys...I will be checking into getting some pretty soon, and now I have a better idea of what to get.
NC~ I'm already addicted to my bow, and I haven't picked up a gun since I bought it, so I'm with you on that...I'm positive once I kill a bird with my bow, a gun will just be an emergency backup.
