BIG Snuffers for turkeys as long as you get them to fly well...devastating

I would go with the Snuffers as well. Although from what I have seen on here a tree shark would be devastating as well, I don't know much about the tree shark but if it comes in a 4 blade model that would be the one I would get.

I have killed Turks with both heads mentioned.  I'll be shooting the treesharks this year and from now on it will destroy a Turk as well as deer.   Treesharks for me

Either of those heads are going to do the job.  Shoot the one that flys best from your setup.

......................................................BH dia. and/or width.......Slash Factor.........SF % Incr. Over Trees Shark         
BH for Turkeys                     
Simmons 'Tree Shark' 190 gn 2" 2BL...........2.000..................12               
Magnus 'Snuffer' 185 gn  1 15/32" 3Bl.........1.460...................13.14.....................9.5         
Big Jim's 'Big 3' 300 1.5"gn 3Bl.......................1.500..................13.5......................12.5         

                     
Don't plan on passing thru on any set-up, so I plan to inflict the largest amount of damage possible.                     
                     
Quickened immobilization is key when pursuing gobs

I've missed them with both! Time to try something else. I know it wasn't my fault or the bow.  :nono:

OK, I'll bite.  How does one calculate "Slash Factor"?  I am guessing it has something to do with blade length and number of blades?

BH Dia and/orWidth...div...2...X...# of Blades...X...   Depth for Comp. Penetration =   SLASH FACTOR

Anything will work just fine in the right spot,but we all know we can be off the mark sometimes when that happens I would go with Treeshark first,blade shape causes sick damage and the head seems to stay in the animal,next would be big jim or biggest snuffer,I seem to still get pass throughs,both will do great good luck.
