broadheads!

[yekrut]

I will be hunting turkeys this spring. I am thinking of useing a magnus 2 blade screw in / or a magnus snuffer. Is one gonna be better then the other or will either one git r done! Is a 2 blade a good choice for turkeys, I do not want to have to track it all over the country side, I want it to be a quick kill!! I used a 3 blade a copule of years ago, but a now I need some new broadheads.

The biggest issue with turkeys is hitting them in the vitals; they aren't very big under those feathers.   Any good sharp broadhead will do in the right spot.  I personally would opt for the Magnus 4 blade to get the x cut.

I'm a big Magnus fan. I use nothing but Magnus II's and Stingers. I think the Magnus 2-blade will work just fine for your intended purpose.

[Jesse Minish]

What ever you shoot big game with is what I would use for turkey. That has worked well for me but JMO.

Personally I don't think a two blade is a wise choice for turkeys. Just to put my opinion in perspective, I'm not a huge two blade fan... unless it's a huge two blade.
    :D  

No doubt a two blade will do the job, but with the small vital area and renowned toughness that turkeys are known for a massive wound channel makes a lot of sense to me.

If you favor the Magnus two blade just get some in the bleeder style and you can have the best of both worlds... multiblade when you want it and two blade when that turns your crank.

I'm with Charlie on this one but would opt for the Snuffer or a Woodsman.  You want a big hole and a broken back if you can get it.  Dang birds don't know when they are dead.  They are like the Energizer Bunny they keep going and going and going.  Well you get the picture.

I'm going to be using a string tracker on them this spring.

Turkeys and Snuffers go together like fries and ketchup.

Snuffer did the trick for me this fall.

[Bill Carlsen]

The head of choice around here is Snuffers. Other heads often pass thru while Snuffers tend to stay i the bird....which is a good thing if you don't want them to fly very far after being hit.

[huntswithwidow]

Go with the snuffer.

[CallMaker]

wingnut has it right. No matter what broadhead you choose a stringtracker is always a good tool for turkeys (and other critters for that matter), the trackers have saved me several birds that would have been coyote food.

[lt-m-grow]

I am gonna tread as lightly as I can here...

Back in the ole days I shot a different setup than I do now...I bet you can tell what I mean...

Well way back then, I might have tried some "unusual"  broadheads that aren't necessarily seen with great favor here for various reasons.  Admittedly, many of those reasons are right on the money BTW.

...BUT...

for turkeys, they may be the best head there is.  Yup, (here it comes)

Frankly what makes them a very poor choice for other game, makes them darned near a perfect choice on turkeys.

Now be nice...

There I said it.  I feel better.

160 grain Snuffers for massive damage and keeping the arrow in the bird.

Shoot them facing away, into their backs. This not only gets you to the vitals, it breaks bones and helps keep the arrow in the bird.  Also gives you a larger margin of error with vertical shot placement.

Thanks for all the input, I will probley go with the snuffer, I shot a turkey 2 years ago with a diffrent head and it went 5 yards a fell!! So I changed bow set ups for this year and will need  the diiffrent head. I hit that turkey high and broke both wings and cut spine!! So yeah I do see the need for a large head.  8 to 12 yard shots  !!!
