Same as my deer set up. 60" osage 55#@26   Dodwood shoots home made 140 grain trade points, 130 TO 148 grain knaped heads. But mainly use the trade points on gobblers.

Same as my big game hunting setup, this year it looks like my Hoyt Buffalo 54# at 27in, 28in Beman MFX 500's with 100gr inserts and Muzzy 125gr 4bl heads.  Previously I have used my BW SA bows in 54 and 56#.  
This arrow combo has worked out very well for me on many turkeys in the past and I usually get excellend performance.  I have not gotten a complete pass thru on the last 9 birds I have shot with that arrow type setup, you do not need any stoppers with trad arrows, my arrows are normally hanging by the fletching, arrow 1/2way in and out, or broadhead fully embedded in the bird.  I like to us a big, 4bl head to do as much damage as possible and with a good hit, most birds will just flop a few times and be down.
They'll be no quitters till we bag us some critters!

Beman MFX 600's with 75 gr insert
