I killed one goose in my whole life. (Well, I only ever had one goose tag)
Used a 4 blade zwickey delta. He flew off with the flock but never gained the altitude he needed to clear the trees about 200 yards away.
By the time I got to him he was TU.

Those would be great for on-the-ground-standing-head-shots.....but...what happens if you hit them in the body?

Any fixed blade broadhead will work fine on geese or duck.

I have used a broadhead made by Steelforce. They are made for turkeys. They are serrated but the serrations are turned backwards so it won't penetrate through the bird. It will transfer a lot of shock to the bird if you can connect.

Good luck with that.

What goes up, must come down, and I'm not talking about the geese.   I think you need at least 800 grains of Extreme Front of Center, with 3" fletching, and a single bevel goose head.
