i am just interested to see what people are using for turkeys, please let me know what your set up is. also curious, is thsi different then your deer hunting set up??
I was using a 58" Firefly LB 50@28 GT 3555 Full length with 100 grain brass insert and 125 grain Snuffer - Did the trick real nice!
I will be using a very similar setup for deer, although bow and broad head subject to change. I will probably be using a Razorcap and probably a recurve, but the specs will probably be the same.
Ken,
Tip 57@28 Legacy 29" 2020 with a 125 grn Stinger. Only difference from my deer set-up is the nock color/feathers. Thanks Kathy :wavey:

56" - 56lb recurve with a 600+ grain Beman MFX / 160 gr Snuffers
Same setup for deer, but I use a 4 blade Muzzy Phantom.
Gold Tip with Zwickey (two blade) and a "adder" point behind the broadhead...

You KNOW mine Brother!!!!! 12ga. 3 1/2"Magnum, 2oz. of copper plated #6..... OH, Sorry! ;)
My 53# Mikuta longbow and a cedar arrow tipped with an old green Bear Razorhead!!!!! :thumbsup:
Hoyt Dorado 52@28 and Rocky Mountain Razor-4 tipped Easton Epic 400's (530 Grains. Just need a bird to play along now...
Kijika stik curve 55#@28"/ cedar shafts with 160 snuffers weighing in at 645gn Or my kijikastik longbow 57#@28" with GT trads 55/70 tipped with 150 WW heads! And these are my all round hunting setup for turkeys,deer to bear! I used to hunt turkeys with my kodiak hunter 44#@28" but I retired her!!
You know what I have brother, same set up for all. 48lb K-Mag, Cedar arrows, and Zwickey 2 blade broadheads. Been thinking about trying some carbon arrows though, just looking for something more durable and economical.
Different for deer and elk, but for turkeys it's 62# Dale Dye recurve, 5575's with big Snuffers. For big game 58-65# Dye with 5575 and 50 gr. insert plus 175gr. VPA Terminator heads.
Shootin the Super Shrew, 53# @ 30", Beman MFX 400 30.5", 125g woodsman on a 125g adapter, 'bout 615g worth of thump. It'll do.

Deer and turkey, same, same...
27.5" 2016 with 175gr Razorcap (20gr insert) up front. Arrow wrap under three RW shield cut feathers. Gonna use a Vortex longbow, 47# at my 26" draw. Total arrow weight of 528gr. That's 11.2 ggp.

PS... I still LOVE woodies for hunting. Need to make some up soon.......
Magic 8-ball, rosary and a lucky rabbit's foot.
Nonono, thank YOU, Mike! I got the better part of THAT deal!

THis year I shot a 25 pounder with a Morrison Shawnee 50 at 29, 30 inch CE Maxima 250 (0.400), 160 gr Snuffer, which made for 285 upfront plus a string tracker. Didn't need the tracker. Broke the wing on the entrance and hit the other wing with no exit hole. How can a 1.5 inch broadhead make a 4 inch hole?
For deer I'll use some 53 at 28 inch limbs and no string tracker. These limbs would probably be better for turkeys than the ones I used.

I use a Kodiak 48" Mag bow.A 2016 shaft with a 125 grain Magnus Buzzcut.For deer,I will be using a 45@28 Cow Creek Mag.Not sure on the arrow yet,but the broadhead will be a Magnus four blade Stinger.
Depends on my mood. First choice is my Mikuta recurve 54@28. or Morrison Dakota 56" 56@28. Both will have CX heritage 150s with Grizzly 190 BH. Same setup for deer un til I get my new NAT Lost Creek bow that is.
54", 50#@28" Addiction recurve, VPA Terminators 175 gr, AD hammerhead Lite 29.5". For deer my 60"SXT 50#@28", same head (maybe) :D and full length AD hammerhead lite shafts.
Dan Quillian Patriot 58 @ 28, CX heritage 350, 100 grain brass insert and a Steelforce Hellfire 150 or a 150 grain Magnus Stinger, same thing I shoot at deer and everything else I hunt. Worked great on the 5 I killed with it this year even worked great on the 2 I missed.
