Default Advice on Turkey broadheads?

What kind of broadheads would be the best for turkey hunting? I was thinking about using the Rocket Hammerheads this year since they have a wide cut on them. Would that be a good choice? I know that penetration won't be a problem, since I will only be using them for turkeys and my bow has about 60 ft./lbs. of KE.

The Hammer head is an excellent choice for turkey. They have a 2" dia. cut and fly just like your 100 grain field points. My turkey last spring was taken with a Rocket Steelhead but at only 1 1/8" cut they are a little small for turkey and I'll definately be going with the Hammerheads this year.

Good Hunting!

I use my 100 gr Muzzy 3 blades for Turkeys but instead of the razors I just use the practice blades.

I think the Hammerheads would be my first choice for turkey. Big cut, open fast and fly great.

Both those broadheads are great. Allthough, i would suggest taking a look at the Vortex 2 1/2 inch cutting diameter mechanical. They've worked good for me.
