NAP Spitfire 100 gr. 1 1/2" cut. Since the Spifires
use blade retention clips instead of "O rings"
the blades take a bit more energy to open. This
is good when it comes to turkeys.

To go one step further, Rocket makes a 150 gr.
mechanical that is perfect for turkeys. It
has 3 blades and a 3 1/2" cut....this BH
will be put a hurtin' on Mr. Longbeard.<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'll do better yet if they are still available. Haven't seen them advertised in couple yrs, but NAP still had them avail. last yr when I contacted them you'll have to do the same. How about a spitfire especially designed just for Turkeys! They are called Gobbler Getters, they have a blunt tip to slow penetration.

Pup, You will have plenty of energy. They really are not as hard to open as a lot of people think and they produce an unbelievable wound channel.

Pup, I have almost the same set up as you. I will be using the Muzzy 4 blade Muzzy 100's. They fly really well (like a field point as you say). I used 125 grain 3 blade snuffers last year, bird only went 10 yards and the year before I used a 3 blade 125 grain Muzzy and the bird went 5 yards. No different than a deer, good shot placement is a must.

Pup, as mentioned, you will have no problem creating
enough energy to get the Spitfires to open. Last
year my brother got a complete passthrough on
his gobbler shooting GT's/Spitfires/Mathews FX/
55 lbs/28&quot; draw. We were both impressed with
the hole the Spitfire made...he even hit him
back a little too far and the bird still only
went about 15-20 yards before expiring.

NAP's Gobbler Getters are still available, but
seem to cost a few bucks more than the Spitfires.
I personally like the 'regular' Spitfires, in case
of frontal or &quot;Texas heart&quot; shots.
