woodsman1977 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I am going to be hunting turkeys this year with my bow and I was wondering what some of you other arrow flingers were using for turkeys? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKYhunter Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Re: broadheads for turkey Rocket Hammerhead, which is a three blade 100 grain mechanical or the Rocket Stricknine if you want a 125 grain head. Both have a 2" cutting diameter. I'm sure the new Rage Slipcam broadheads would be awesome as well. With turkeys the bigger the cutting diameter the better. Hope this helps.

M00N Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Re: broadheads for turkey I personally like the Gobbler Guillotine broadheads. We had some guys that used mechanicals make good kill shots and the birds still flew up into the tree or away then died. Talk about tricky recovery of the bird. You either monkeyed it up a tree and got the bird or left it since the area we hunted cutting live trees wasn't allowed. Sometimes it took forever to find a bird that took flight and died somewhere and sometimes you never found it. Those guillotine broadheads though since they tend to chop the head clear off reduces that risk considerably because the birds may still do their flopping, but rarely take to flight and get away out of sight. I'd feel much more comfortable bowhunting turkeys while using those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Re: broadheads for turkey NAP Spitfires. You can use the guillatines but then you have to get special arrows, and can only have head shots. Heck why not use a regular boadhead for a head shot?

snapper Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Re: broadheads for turkey I personally wouldn't try a head shot with a bow on a turkey. Too small of a target...esp. a target that don't hold still very long! With that said, any broadhead that you'd use for deer hunting...shot through a side shot where the wing attaches to the body will do the job. That body shot will take out the wings (can't fly) and go through the vitals resulting in a dead bird and less chances of a wounded/not recovered bird.

toddyboman Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Re: broadheads for turkey I do not have these. And I do not plan on buying them. Heck I will keep on using my shotgun, I need all the help I can get to take these crazy birds. But those things are AWESOME looking and DEADLY. watch this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
