I haven't, but my young son used a NAP Gobbler Getter to take a huge longbeard with his 40 pound compound bow.  The arrow went completely through the bird and opened a tremendous hole. The GG has a rounded/blunt point which gives s bit more thump - if you will. Since I like heavy arrows tipped with big broadheads that I sharpen myself, my turkey head of choice has been a big Simmons Treeshark.

Generally expandables can be dodgy out of trad equipment.  Recurves and longbows often do not have the KE needed to open the blade and inflict damage.  That said I have them for the wheel bow and have used spitfires before with high effectiveness.  Hmmm, if they work outta your trad equipment... let me know!!  I may try too  :)

Big, sharp broadhead is more better. I don't know if there is even a mechanical out there that is heavy enough to call a trad head.

Sorry guys, no expandables on Tradgang...their reliability is suspect at best.
