Default Crossbows and Turkeys

Looking for a good bolt head to kill turkeys and not blow through them. What works for ya?

I don't know what X bow you have, but I think your going to have blow thru's with most modern one's, they just have a lot of KE and even with larger heads, pass thru's will happen!
make sure you watch your backgrounds behind turkeys when you shoot at em!

Back ground has not been a problem. Shooting a PSE Fang. The problem is a regular broad head goes through and they get up and fly away. do the judo tips or other bird tips work on a crossbow?

expandable heads do work on X bow, and them BIG one's with 2+ inch heads should curb things from running off, as long as you hit a vital on them
but the pass thru's will still happen IMO and you will be having bolts going pretty far possibly , so safety is something to always keep in mind when shooting them !
