You might want to double check before you use those, I know they aren't legal for deer. I'd hate to see a fellow hunter get jacked up by F&G.

You can use expandables for small game, turkey included.

Oh well then in that case happy hunting. I personnally have wanted to try the guillotine, but as I told my buddy that I will take turkey hunting for the first time this year it's alot more fun to slap'em with lead. :chuckle:

Here's a good turkey head. It has a blunt tip so it shocks and stays w/the turkey.

I have seen those in action a few times, Usually they work great, but I also saw one bounce off a toms wing once :twocents:

Both my brother and hunting partner killed thier fall birds with rage two blade expandables this fall.  They both got quick clean kills, with very well placed shots.

They did  both have complete pass thru's on the gobblers, seems like you see alot of pass thru shot birds take off like they didn't know they were hit.  I shot my bird with a Innerloc Falcon Claw,  it's got the cutting action of a fixed blade with that small game claw behind it that puts all the energy of the arrow into the bird.  Best of both worlds IMO.

Good luck whatever head is on the arrow you let fly this spring.

Bow Dad, Thanks for the tip, I am going to order some 100 gr. Innerloc's and try them this spring!
