Title: Turkey Hunting
Post by: FEIK77 on March 30, 2009, 08:40:00 AM
I will be turkey hunting in a few weeks and was wondering what is a good broadhead to use on them.

Well, seeing as how I keep missing I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer.  But, I've got the Wensel Woodsman on the end of my arrows.  Good luck to ya'.

160 Snuffers!  Turkeys have a small kill zone and a large 3 blade improves your odds of hitting vitals and keeping arrow in the bird impeding flight.  I shot these two opening weekend this year and the snuffers did a great job. The wound channels were impressive!  Good Luck!

If I use cedars I use old Bear heads, on my Eastons I use 125 grain muzzys. Fifteen yards is my limit on turkeys, you have to be really accurate and get hit them perfect.  :archer:

I'm trying the head-shot. Gonna use Bullheads if I can get'em close. I'm hunting west of Illinois City by my in-laws. I'll be out first season. Good luck.

I will be using woodsmen on hickory shafts. Under twenty yards for me, the closer the better. I will be in my Double Bull, good chance for a shot under ten yards.  ;)
