I am sick of loosing turkey. I've stuck 2 this year and lost both. they fly imediately on impact. hear them crash and after an extensive search can't find them. finaly got one with the flintlock smoothbore. I think I've take my last shot on one with a bow. both shots on the birds were under 20yds and I am of the opinion that the only shure shot on a turkey is with thier back to you and hit them in the spine. I know nothing goes to waste but I hate loosing an animal
I only use the the 125 gr 2.75" cut and have never had a turkey go more than 7-8'. The majority have died were they stood. Accuracy is excellent with these bh's. You won't be disappointed.
I lost a fall bird last year only to find the feather's the next day But this spring I was lucky to connect with a tom at 30yds plowed field I hit him where the wing connects to the body and he didn't flinch!!
The only other bird I harvested with my crossbow was a jake a few years back and I spined him and he also didn't flinch.

I haven't tried these but I have a friend who hunts turkey with his compound bow and he uses them exsclusively with great success.
He won't even consider any other broadhead for turkey.

well, 1 was pinned to the ground but got loose before I got to it and flew off, and the second one the arrow fell out just as it took flight. will take a look at the heads mentioned above. let's face it, I suck when it comes to turkey with a bow
Gary, the shot was at 19yds, was using the type of head that impeads penetration. the fletch was inside the bird with the rest of the arrow sticking out.

Old fart Jim, You might want to try Muzzy Grasshoppers behind your broadhead.These keep the shaft in the bird soo they cant fly..or run
