I've only shot adder points behind field points. 

A buddy in KS shoots turkeys with a 2 blade Rage, and he says it's like hitting them with a tomahawk.  He's showed me pictures of birds cut almost clean in half.  I think I may try them this year for birds if I can find a buddy to give me some.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

I would give you some if I had some to give.  My buddy has shot 5 or 6 turkeys now and uses nothing different then his regular deer set up.

Whats your buddys regular setup? The only reason i wanna change from my deer setup (slick trick standards) to a turkey setup is i have had 2 fly away that i couldn't find And i know i made kill shots on both.

Pardon me if im wrong but wouldn't rage 2 blades be concidered "barbed"; making them illegal in Washington? Or is that rule just for Big Game? Anyway, as to the Adder Points. I would try them before hunting just to make sure they dont affect your accuracy (Probably wont). Also if you're shooting a very low draw weight, it might hurt penitration. That might not be a huge problem for turkey. Just a couple thoughts.

Only illegal for big game.  Turkeys are listed as game birds.

I think he has been shooting wac'em broadheads.  He hasn't talked about any getting away.  Maybe he's just lucky. :dunno:
