Turkey Broadheads.....

OK guys we here in Ontario are about three months away from Turkey season. I personally can't wait!!! Turkey hunting is what got me started hunting, I love the interaction with birds and the thundering gobbles

So what Bolt and head set-up are you guys planning on using this spring????
Has anyone ever tried the Guillotine broadhead and removed the stirup ???

I use a 100 gr 4 bladed Slick Trick with a Zwickey Grappler behind the BH and Gold Tip shafts amd have had excellent results.

There are some new ones out there I might try. FUSE makes one called the Strut Buster. I may try the NAP Gobbler Getter in my vert bow. Check out the Bullhead from Magnus Broadheads. Watch the video's,

Digger are you shooting for the leg area and hoping you don't get a pass through??
That is the kinda set up I was considering.

I shoot for the area just below the head. The Zwickey stops any pass thrus. Took a tom 4 years ago with a Texas heart shot . (not recommended)

I've taken a few with the xbow. Most I took with Slammerheads and one with a Hammerhead.

Here's what the Slammerhead did last year on the last day.........

Thanks for the posted pic. I'd like to give those a try. I tried the gobbler guillotines and they suck. They have no consistancy whatsoever.

As some of you know, I'm a pretty big Rocket Broadhead Fan.

Here's the write up about these heads;

Comes in;
- 2 3/4" 125Grain
- 3 1/2" 150Grain

I like that it's mechanical. should fly well (compared to the guillotine), but still packs a massive punch.

I would lean towards what you know works. Use your existing setup with or without an arrestor to stop a passthrough. Drill em at the base of the wing and they will die.

Rocket stricknine 2 inch cut double band them and they shoot through blind netting no problem got my first turkey last fall with a 125 grain spitfire and I had to feel sorry for that turkey it did the job and then some bird went about 15 feet
