Large snuffers in the past, going to try Big Jim's 300gr vpa, 1 1/2" wide, this season.

I'm another who likes BIG heads for turkey. Small kill zone makes maximizing the cut important. Snuffers and (recently) Centaur heads get the nod.

I've used snuffers and Simmons Tigersharks with a bleeder. This year I will be using the Simmons Treeshark. Not a shot you hear much talk about but if you can shoot 'em in the hip they don't go anywhere. They can't fly because they can't run or jump into the air and they can't run.

Hitting them with large 160 gr Snuffers...is similar to George Foreman hitting a heavy bag. :eek:

I like a 3 blade. Mostly have been Woodsman's or Woodsman Elite.

I'll be using a DeepSix head this year. There aren't many broadheads out there for this system. I may use the somewhat fragile-looking "Big Nasty" three blade for turkey though.

Bowwild...Abowyer offers a deep 6 titanium broadhead adapter so you could use pretty much any glue on broadhead you like. Not cheap but better than settling for a fragile broadhead

Anyone ever try the gobbler guillotine out of a trad bow? Just curious if it would be worth trying. My concern would be having to draw or hold anchor until the head is clear for the shot. Otherwise a standard broadheads my ideal shot would be dead center in the fan from behind?
Just curious as I haven't hunted turkey in atleast 15 years and never with the bow before. Tryin to maximize my chances.

Guru, do you use a string tracker too? I'm going to try using the ST this year with my Stickland's Stick bow. Good luck!
