RE: Turkey broadheads
As you know a turkey vitals is a very small target to hit, so the most accurate broadhead you can shoot is what works best!! The Rocket 100gr Hammerhead mechanical would work perfect with it' s 2" cut and pin-point accuracy!! That will blow a nice hole in a turkey!!!

RE: Turkey broadheads
I' d recommend a large cutting mechanical.
I' ve had success with NAP Spitfires - 1 1/2" cut
and Rocket Sledgehammers - 3 1/2" cut.
...but, as mentioned, shot placement is more
important than the broadhead. It doesn' t matter
what BH you use if you don' t hit them in the
right place. They are really tough birds[>:].
Good luck hunting-

RE: Turkey broadheads
I took a 125 grain 4 blade head, and cut off two of the blades leaving just enough to make a spur on those two sides. That way, the other two blades do the cutting damage, and the spurs keep the arrow from passing all the way thru. The turkey won' t be able to fly that way, or if he does, not very far. I normally shoot, and have my bow tuned for 100 grain heads. By using a 125 grain head and cutting the blades that way, it' s about 101 grains.
