Default Bow hunter - Shot placement & broadhead.

I'd like to know what's everyone preference on broadhead and also where do you shoot your bird ?

This spring I'll bring along by bow and I will give it a try.

I like wasp broadhead but there is so many out there and also I don't know how the wasp perform on wild turkeys.

I shoot a mathews switchback 70 pounds.

For a body shot, this is what I learned..." Hit em high, watch em die...hit em low, watch em go". Don't ask how I know this. Do a Google search. There's some good pictures of where you should place a shot if your aiming for the vitals.
If your going to go the head shot method, take a look at the Magnus Bullhead cutters.
Good luck.

I agree with this.
I also like to use a mech blade with at least 2" cutting diameter

I believe you know the answer to that one. Lol. Spent a lot of time crawling around the Bermuda Triangle. Inside joke.
