Turkey arrow

What would you use? Same arrow you use for deer or one that has some sort of a stop to keep the arrow from passing thru.

I use the same arrow I use for deer and pigs. I also like to shoot them facing away and feeding if I can.

Yes sir same arrow and my favorite shot is broadside and shoot em in the wingbutt which would be upper thighs so they can't get off the ground and fly..

Don't worry about pass throughs doesn't happen as much as you might think.

I like a big, mean, multiblade shot into them from behind if possible.

Haven't turkey hunted with a bow yet, but I think I'd go with either a big three blade or something wide like a Tree Shark.  Seems they'd do more damage than the narrower two blades I deer hunt with, and penetration isn't a big concern with turkeys.  Or maybe a Razorhead or something similar with the bleeder blades installed.

Same exact setup as deer minus the string tracker for deer. That's how I do it anyway

I used the Palmer extreme cut 4 blade this year and it worked great. It looks like an oversized muzzy phantom.
