My buddy has killed a few with his bow but he just uses the same set up as he would for deer hunting.

The guys that I guide use the same broad head that they use for deer. They all shoot them rite in the front of the wing but a little high. Heres a pic with the arrow still in the bird

Agree, same broadhead you are used to.  The guillotine ones are interesting but I think you can only do a neck shot.  I think there are four camps for target spots, broadside at base of wing so they can't fly away while bleeding out; hip so they can't run/fly away; spine from behind or base of beard from head on; and head shot.

Mine went down quickly with a wingbone side shot and same broadhead I hunt elk with.

Good luck, it is quite a challenge.  Last spring I had several opportunities around 30 yards, slam dunk with the shotgun but could only see the head and neck and did not have the guillotine heads.

I have shot both the guillotines and bull heads. I like the bull heads better myself. If you are going to be hunting with a broadhead. Make sure you do a little research on shot placement on turkeys. They don't have very big kill/cripple zones. So it always helps to look up diffrent shot placements. Good luck to you  :tup:

Thanks for posting this thread. I am going to try the same thing this spring season. Never shot one before and hope to get my first with my bow.

I love the gobbler guillotine arrowds.com

There a bit pricey and I shoot them with a 32" forward tapered arrow that can be purchased through Cabela's. I practice shooting at hanging carrots and celery.
God Bless,

Good tip on the target practice.  I might get some of these type so that if the birds are in the brush and I can only see heads, I might switch over.

Most any broadhead should work as long as your arrow flies true. I used a STOS (slicker than owl *censored*) this year. Broke the hip or leg bone just right (whatever it was). Made a snapping sound on impact. Gotta love it when as soon as you hit an animal you know it's a done deal.

You might want to check out Innerloc's Falcon Claw.   The broadhead is a copy of their 100 grain Falcon head with a small game "Claw' behind it.  They are very easy to tune with that BAT technology they have and WoW do they put a bird down.  This was my first season using them and I was very impressed.  Knocked this guy right off his feet this fall...

No problem,  hope you put down a good one with those Bullheads.  Good luck and let us know how they work.

What about a rage? I know they are illegal for big game but I just looked in the rule book and doesn't say anything for small game/turkeys. I was thinking boutusing those but want some other openions.

I have seen those before. Always been curious how they fly compared to a regular broadhead and how do you practice with them? Also thought the cost was a little high. But they look very effective, cool video.
