Preferred boradheads for turkeys

[liv4archery]

I was wondering what all you turkey experts prefer to use as far as broadheads for turkeys. Do any of you shoot fixed blades. I shoot thunderheads 100's for deer. Can I use these for turkeys as well?

I shoot a 100 grain Cabela's head that is very similar to the thunderhead. This year I am going to be adding a stopper point to see if that helps much more. The head will work fine - shot placement is key.

I prefer a big expandable for turks.A Spitfire worked last year so I'm sticking with it.

Muddy helped us out in January with this topic, and again in February. The picture in this thread is great.
At first I was going to go with a large cutting diameter Rocket head...I think now I'm going to use a 100 gr. shockwave with the adder point behind it.

1.75 cut, 100 grn jak-hammers. The bigger hole you blow in those critters the better. Have had exceptional luck with these and I doubt I will change.

bukket, shockwaves are expandables by NAP, right? if so, DO NOT use an adder behind them otherwise you'll have about 2 inches of penetration. only use the stoppers on fixed blades in my opinion. i hit a bird with a rocket and an adder and it went in like 2 inches and then flopped out. didn't recover him but then again i think i killed more feathers than anything. an expandable will deilver plenty of ka pow without the adder.

bukket,
I would not put a adder behind a expandable head... penetration is hampered enough you shouldn't need any thing else behind the head.

I have used 100 GR. Thunder heads on about 5 turkeys. They work great!! As they do on deer. My bird last year went about 10 yds. after the hit! The year before my buddy shot one at about 8 yds, it was dead by the time he got out of the blind and to the bird .The bird did not move from the spot he was hit ! you can't ask for more than that from any head !

Thanks for the heads up guys!
