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

Use your deer set-up.

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

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.

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.

Now Your talking..

wayner · « **Reply #14 on:** January 19, 2011, 09:18:41 AM »

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.

STIKNSTRINGBOW · « **Reply #15 on:** January 19, 2011, 09:41:51 AM »

I use a Pearson "Deadhead" , supposedly that is what BP designed them for, combined with a "string tracker"
But then I have yet to get a shot off on one of these damn Easterns with my recurve, so I cannot tell you how it works........ yet....

lokidog · « **Reply #16 on:** January 19, 2011, 08:24:52 PM »

Trophy pics are kind of gruesome after those and your taxidermist will love you.

CallMaker · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2011, 05:30:12 PM »

I use the same broadhead as for deer, a Magnus 125 grain, the wide one. And as turkeys are hard to put down with a bow I ALWAYS use a string tracker. Saves a lot of birds from being lost.

Also have had good luck with regular broadheads.

Hangfire · « **Reply #20 on:** January 28, 2011, 06:13:42 AM »

Every on that I have met that hunts turkeys with a bow, has had them fly or run off. I think Callmakers advice should be taken.

Callmaker: your scratch box call goes with me when ever I turkey hunt. I am sold on a wingbone call and a scratch box call used together.

CallMaker · « **Reply #21 on:** January 28, 2011, 06:26:53 AM »

HangFire-

Wingbone/scratchbox is a good combination. That's about all I ever carry any more myself. It has always been a productive mix for me.
