I put a 125 gr. Swhacker through one in November. He made it maybe 10-15 yds. :D

I have a lot of time in to my broadhead selecion and tuning for deer, so when turkey season rolls around I figure it's best to stick with what works.
I slide a Zwicky grappler in behind my broadhead, the grappler slows the penetration down a bit, often leaving the arrow in the bird. Light enough that it does not require you to make any changes to the scope in typical turkey range.

Aftershock Archery Hypershock or Gobblers twin mech 2.75" cut. I've taken around a dozen birds with them and haven't had a single runner or flyer. Usually levels them on the spot unless they're on a hill...then they tend to roll a few feet. Lol.
