I was using a 58" Firefly LB 50@28 GT 3555 Full length with 100 grain brass insert and 125 grain Snuffer - Did the trick real nice!
I will be using a very similar setup for deer, although bow and broad head subject to change. I will probably be using a Razorcap and probably a recurve, but the specs will probably be the same.

You know what I have brother, same set up for all. 48lb K-Mag, Cedar arrows, and Zwickey 2 blade broadheads. Been thinking about trying some carbon arrows though, just looking for something more durable and economical.

THis year I shot a 25 pounder with a Morrison Shawnee 50 at 29, 30 inch CE Maxima 250 (0.400), 160 gr Snuffer, which made for 285 upfront plus a string tracker. Didn't need the tracker. Broke the wing on the entrance and hit the other wing with no exit hole. How can a 1.5 inch broadhead make a 4 inch hole?
For deer I'll use some 53 at 28 inch limbs and no string tracker. These limbs would probably be better for turkeys than the ones I used.

Dan Quillian Patriot 58 @ 28, CX heritage 350, 100 grain brass insert and a Steelforce Hellfire 150 or a 150 grain Magnus Stinger, same thing I shoot at deer and everything else I hunt. Worked great on the 5 I killed with it this year even worked great on the 2 I missed.
