Hey all, what broadheads are you using for turkeys. Has anyone ever used the bullheads or the giatines, don't know how to spell that one. Or what about the turkey broadheads from VPA? Thanks
I've been fortunate to kill a few and because the kill zone is about the size of your fist, I like BIG heads like the Snuffer and Centaur. Shot opportunities are dear enough that I won't try head shots nor the broadheads marketed for that. Hope this is helpful and good luck with the birds.
I have had excellent results with simmons heads I always try to go for wing butt or upper thighs and they don't make it far
My picks in no particular order:
Big 3
Snuffer
Tree Shark
Battle Axe
I'm using stone.
Big sharp two blade.
I killed mine, last year, with a Snuffer 160. Massive hole!

Yup... The bigger the better for me.
I am going to try some Tuskers this year.
Drewsbow sent me some out of the kindness of his heart so I think I'll give them a try. Gonna be mounted on some 30.5" 2219's. I think they'll work great.

I'd go big 160 snuffer or Big jim 3 blade, or treeshark or battle axe...... how about scorpios though have any of you used scorpios on the shaft even with big heads?
I had them on but never made a hit with one one! BUT they are perfect for not loosing that arrow with a nice broadhead on it.
I haven't killed a lot of turkeys with a bow, but the ones I have killed were shot with the old style Wensel Woodsmans. Though I do understand the logic behind using big/wide broadheads on turkeys.

big 3 blade- I've had good luck with snuffers
Back in the old days, Ben Pearson designed the 135 Deadhead for deer and the 155 extra wide Deadhead for heavy bows and also recommended the wide Deadhead for turkeys. The old Herters four blade works pretty good for turkeys and deer.
I have had good luck with Zwickey deltas.
This is what I'll be using.

Nothing wrong with the old Bear razorheads....my last Kansas turkey only went about 15 yards.
"For no particular reason"........Razorheads, Treesharks, Deadheads and Butterfield Brutes.
I'm going to try tree sharks this year !
I use the same German Kinetics that I use for deer, and everything else!

fairly light boned animal so I would go with the widest cut sharpest bh u can get to fly good
I like Zwickey's, they fly the same as field points with my set up and they'll put everything from coyote, deer, elk and turkey on the ground if I do my part.
You can't get to big, both in width and weight and blades.
I want three blades, a wide 1 1/2" cut and and a heavy head for max shock. Like mentioned very small kill zone and their head is always moving, I have a hard enough time hitting the
Whole body much less the head.
Pretty much anything will kill them, Put in the right place. I try to use a head for those less than perfect shots.
Florida, 15 more days.

I just glued some 165 grain Snuffers on some 5575's for my N/M Baraga, got em shavin sharp, just waiting for the snow to disappear!!!!!!!
Sharp 4blade Magnus and Bear Razorheads do a great job. Hit at wing butt and they wont go far.
