    Broadhead for turkey

    Hey folks,

    Wondering what broadhead you all use for turkey.

    I've done a bunch of research online and the neck shot broadheads look like a good option but I have concerns about breaking them before I get them dialed in.

    Then I thought I could use my current elk broadhead for short distance neckshots.

    What do you all use? What has experience taught you?

    Cheers matt

    Regular broadhead of your choice in the boiler room. Those head lopping off style need extra long arrows, hard to carry in a quiver and a whole new tune on your bow. Hard to practice as they break when hitting your target.

    I'm sure many have had great experience with mechanical but I have seen many failures over the years of my friends losing animals from failure of broadhead. There was one circumstance that a poor shot occurred but I did see 3 great shots that didnt end well not finding the animal or seeing it days later after many hard days of looking and coming up empty handed . To each there own but I have had nothing but success with a fixed. Anything 1" diameter and 100gr should be just fine .

    Fixed 100%. I agree. I’m still new at archery but the research I’ve done and people I’ve talked to say don’t try and reinvent the wheel. That’s why I say toxic. It has the most blade out there right now and cores holes. There is no fat seal up. Just 3 nasty 1/2 hole That video shows what it can do to a moose. Now think if you get. A turkey with it game over.
