Turkey Broadheads

[BrandoLakes]

Just looking for some opinions on turkey broadheads. Newbie looking just to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks!

I like the Magnus decapitating broadheads. I got a Turkey last spring- lopped the head right off.

I used the NAP expandable turkey head. Worked great, lots of damage.

I have two in my quiver, and use whichever one the circumstance calls for. Magnus bullheads for shots 20 yards and in on calm days (clean kill or clean miss, no in-between) and a two blade expandable for windy days or shots beyond 20 yards.

I prefer the bullheads, but I've seen them get blown around a little on windy days and they seem to loose steam a little on longer shots. I could probably stretch them out a little more, but the expendables have worked alright for me too. I like the bullheads for strutting shots, there's less guesswork on finding the vitals and the head is usually pretty still. When thier not strutting that head can move quite a bit and finding the vitals with an expandable isn't as hard.

So you're going for the head whenever the opportunity presents itself?

2 inch rage expandable or 2 inch sevr expandable which is same head I use for deer hunting. They have worked well for me...

SOLID DECAPS and head shots! Head and neck are a larger target than the elusive vital on turkeys. We have not lost a bird since switching to head shots. These heads are tanks and 3 should last forever.

Well I know what I'm going to be practicing for the next couple weeks.. Thanks for the advice. Makes a lot of sense.

Yep. If they're strutting, a purr or cluck to get them to "lock up" in strut is a great time to shoot. The head is usually tucked back and you'll get a moment without movement. A DSD to position them for a shot helps too.
