Cutthroat broadheads for Turkey?

[dresnor]

I really like what I am seeing with these broadheads but I haven't seen much about using them on turkeys.

Has anyone out there had good luck with the Cutthroats on turkeys? I have read that most people like a 3 blade broadhead for turkeys but I will be hunting bear and deer with the same broadhead and single bevel 2 blade heads were highly recommended for larger game.

I am looking to buy my first broadheads for traditional archery and these look great. With the start up costs of this sport I am trying to not buy a bunch of different types of broadheads right off.

I think you will get a lot of answers based upon a lot of folks experiences.  Although I have yet to bloody a Cutthroat, I carry them and can get them so sharp I can run it down my arm and leave no hair.  I am gonna guess you put that, or any sharp head, inside a turkey IN THE RIGHT SPOT, and it will work fine.   All I can say is they fly very well for me, they sharpen up nice, and they look cool as well !

I don't think that is an accurate statement.  I think the preference is pretty well mixed between 2 blade and 3 blade.  I myself prefer a 2 blade but don't do what I do because I say so.  There are lots of quality broadheads out there and they all work well.

I've killed turkeys with two blade and 3 blade heads. Placement, placement, placement. The hollow bones and feathers of a turkey will absorb a lot of momentum from an arrow. If you're using a 3 blade, make sure you've got a bow/arrow combination to push it through.  

Personally, whatever your regular big game setup is, I'd just use that for turkeys and keep the shot within your comfort range that you can hit a fist size target. Look at the pinned posts at the top of the forum for shot placement. That is the key.

I have two buddies that killed turkeys this year with cutthroats, they work fine.  I am a three blade guy.

I got my Colorado turkey with a Cutthroat broadhead.  Worked great.  Ken

Haven't used Cutthroats, but I have taken turkeys with Grizzly single bevels as well as various other 2 blades. As stated, put one in the right place and you'll be having turkey dinner.

Thanks everyone, I will order some cutthroat broadheads soon.

Though I have not taken one myself with one I can tell you they guys at RMSGear who designed this head are avid and dedicated turkey hunters. They and their group just slayed a passel of gobblers with them a couple weeks ago and I know many over the years since inception have had great luck with them.

Agreed. My daughter took a 26 lb bird with a Stinger last year. 2 blade; 3 blade...just find the boiler room and the lights go out.

I said that like finding that boiler room is easy...
