DeerStalker22 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I've been hunting hunting turkeys since I was 12 but have never really gotten into bow hunting them. The last four years I have wanted to but have not been able to do so because of college and i couldn't get out to shoot my bow enough to feel comfortable to take it out with me in the woods. This year I will have the chance to do so and was just wondering what type of broad heads everyone uses. Is just the standard broad head i would use for deer ok? I don't plan on taking neck shots so the large broad heads that are meant for those shots are not in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) I don't turkey hunt much but when I do I use my bow with either a snyper or rage broad heads. It's very fun turkey hunting with the bow Edited April 23, 2014 by Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THHuntNY Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I use rocket hammerheads. It's a three blade 2 inch cut. They fly great and leave big holes. They're fairly cheap I found them 25 bucks for 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THHuntNY Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 From what I've seen you aim high on the wing for a broadside shot. This video helped me when I first got started 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeerStalker22 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 So would my 3 blade muzzys work for turkeys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THHuntNY Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I was going to originally use my muzzy 3 blades this season I just wanted something with a bigger cut. They should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkln Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 That's some bad ass shooting, especially the head shots..... nice job......and thanks for sharing the video.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Cool video! On the broadside shots, it almost looks like you could draw a line back into the body from where the beard protrudes and aim for there, as a reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfdeputy2 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I use my Rage 2 blades for turkeys honestly I don't think you need "Turkey" broadheads I use what I am use to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THHuntNY Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 As long as you put that arrow where it needs to go any broad head will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THHuntNY Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I've never thought about that before. Seems like it'd work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloutdoors Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Personally I don't use a special head for turkeys. I shoot Grizz Tricks just like I do for deer. The sweet spot is pretty much at the height of the beard and directly over the legs. Head on or straightaway shots are the best in my opinion because you have a good chance for a spine hit.

Meat Manager Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Started the season with rage 2 blades but did not like the penetration (more like lack there of) in the 2 birds I shot and 1 harvested. I decided for the remainder of this season I'd go back to montec fixed blades....I had a handful laying around.
