Turkey broadheads?

[2044Mustang]

Well I will be trying for the first time this year to get the elusive gobbler with my bow. Just curious if any of you have an opinion on broadheads, or do you use your deer setup? I usually hunt deer with slick tricks, should I use those or I also have some older Rocket Hammerheads that I was thinking of using. Any thoughts?

You could do a search and find pages and pages on this topic, but they're all gonna say the same thing. Any large diameter mechanical head that you feel comfortable with will be the best head for you.

Good luck! Taking a turkey with your bow is not as easy as it sounds.

The hammerheads work great. I have been using them now for years since they started the company. Like Don said any large cutting broadhead will work.

[2044Mustang]

thanks for the input guys. I by no means think it's going to be easy. I've taken a few over the years with my shotgun. I want to give the bow a try.

Any broadhead will work, although a large cutting diameter is nice insurance. Practice shooting from your knees or a blind chair prior to your hunt. Aim small, miss small. You'll be hooked!

I have taken a couple with slick tricks and they work,however I tend to recommend the larger expandable because of the smaller vital areas on a turkey. Any of the quality heads will work and as far as the expandables as long as they open up you're golden

Speaking of mechanicals, anyone shoot the Schwacker? It looks to me like it would be a very good head for turkeys.

Opens so fast you can hear the SWHACK! I haven't tried them. Thinking about trying the NAP F.O.C. turkey head in NE though! 170 gr 3" cut. Outrageous if you ask me.

[DonBo]

Only issue with the 170 gr head is you'd have to retune your set-up to shoot it. I'm shooting leagues and 3D's all winter and want to be able to leave my sights right where they are.

[sticknstring]

I guess tuning and playing around with different setups is half the fun for me!

I plan on trying the Magnus Bullhead in 125gr for turkeys this year. I plan on keeping my rage in the quiver, but I guess it will depend on how much my sight changes. Since I didn't sign up for a league I have plenty of opportunity to tinker with my setup.

I'm actually interested in trying 125gr heads for all my shooting to see how my bow likes it.

[Archerysniper]

Have fun playing with those 170's that's really changing you FOC and moving a lot of stuff around.

[sticknstring]

I probably won't since I have plenty of Hammerheads and Bullheads waiting for action from previous seasons, but you never know!

I use 80 gr brass inserts w/ 125 gr heads on my recurve setup and they fly great out of the compound as well. Out to 20 yds, there is minimal difference in impact. Pretty easy adjustment with the HHA dial.

SticknString,

You have the best head for turkey's (hammerhead)

You can get the chisel tips add on to the hammerhead and it's the same as the stricknine by rocket.

Love all the turkey talk only 49 days till I hit NE fields.

[sticknstring]

You've got me beat by 6 days! Hopefully the mild weather continues down there and the birds will be fired up early season for a change. The last two years we've been down there, we've gotten snow.

. Pretty easy adjustment with the HHA dial.

That's the nice thing with those sights and I probably will not own a different one.
