Just wondering if anyone is using these with their Excalibur for turkey hunting. I know they can get in the way of the stir-up but I plan to get a custom stir-up machined to not interfere with the broadhead itself. Just looking for some feedback, thanks.
Re: Magnus Bullhead
Most guys use a 22" shaft and a rope stirrup .The only disadvantage is that you need the turkey close and head up. They dont fly well past 25yrds.

I say, stick with your regular BH. I'll be using a Swhacker and a muzzy this Spring.

Even for a head shot? just don't wanna damage any of the meat.
Re: Magnus Bullhead
Forget head shooting. A regular BH does very little meat damage. Just be aware that you are not aiming for the breast. From a side profile, shoot above the leg and through the wing area.IH8ATTN wrote:UPSMAN wrote:I say, stick with your regular BH. I'll be using a Swhacker and a muzzy this Spring.

Re: Magnus Bullhead
Also try to keep your arrow in the bird, It cant fly or run that way. Very hard to find a turkey with a bad hit. Back to the head shot, why not....Excaliburs can chop thier heads off with a Expandable or Fixed.But remember you only get 1 shot. Make it count.

Secret ... How do you keep the arrow in the bird?
It would seem challenging to get a turkey to stop directly in front of a cinder-block wall.
I remember at Cabela's once they had a TV with a running video loop of turkey heads being lopped off by some new expandable broadhead. Slow motion turkey heads is not something you see every day.
Re: Magnus Bullhead
Neither was the stuff I saw in Amsterdam when i went there . Thanks for the info everyone. I still may try the bullhead and give it a shot, pun intended.JT of PA wrote:secret wrote:Also try to keep your arrow in the bird, It cant fly or run that way.

Re: Magnus Bullhead
I put a Muzzy Grasshopper Behind my broadhead It slows the arrow fast keeps from a pass threw .I also use the lightest arrow you can that helps too.

Re: Magnus Bullhead
Not sure if this thread is still live but for Secret, that Muzzy grasshopper turkey thing looks like it might be a pretty effective gizmo. Does it really stop the arrow from a pass-through or just increase shock and slow it down a bit? Also based on your experience or anyone else's how much do those wires effect accuracy? I assume they're offset from the blades?

Re: Magnus Bullhead
Grousegrove, They weigh 20gr ,they do not effect accuracy , That broadhead is the same one i use for deer. I min. weight arrow really helps in recovery. Heavier weight arrows will blow right through. The main advantage is it stands your arrow up in grass if a passthrough happens. I killed turkey with this combo like my [Avatar] ill post a link to one of my videos. The offset dosnt effect anything.A 4 blade broadhead ,i would line them up between the blades. You can shoot them as far as you can . Good luck Afield .
