Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default Broadhead question!?!?

My dad shot a turkey with his bow this last weekend and we were not able to find him, he couldn't fly but ran off. Last year he shot one and it couldn't run but it flew off and we actually found him after looking for about 1 1/2 hours. Both times it appears as though he made good shots but we think he needs different kind of broadheads. The ones he is using now are regular 3 fixed blade broadheads but I think he needs something bigger. If any of you have any tips, suggestions for broadheads or just any other help I would appreciate it greatly. He is shooting carbon arrows, not exactly sure what size but are fairly big in diameter compared to other carbons I've seen.

Most people recommend a large diameter mechanical head for turkeys. Some put a stopper behind a fixed head as well.
