What are you guys tipping your arrows with for gobblers? Bringing the bow this year for the second tag if opportunity presents itself.
Thanks.

Have seen awesome cut performed by the Rage Turkey Broadheads and also have had Slick Trick recommended by a bow hunter who hunts everything form turkey to moose, swears by them, likely my next purchase.
I shoot slick tricks now, but after allot of review, it seems a body shot on a turkey is not ideal. I know a few guys have posted vids here using the magnus bullhead and guillotine for head shots
NAP spitfire turkey heads
gator XP they fly like a field point.
Your right TR, the body shots aren't ideal....years ago I watched two birds fly away with my arrow stuck it them (my dog help me recover one). I have since either shot it up the Texas red eye or the neck/head. It's tough, took two shots at a Tom once both missed his neck when he moved slightly. He had no idea what happened and just carried on...Quote:

I have had good luck with Slick Tricks, you just have to hit them in the right place.
I have used the Rage Turkey Broadheads and they worked well, but I also have the Hypodermic's which have also performed for me so.... I will be using one of those two, just not surer which one as of yet.
I have yet to hunt turkeys but really hope to do so sooner than later. I have always been a fan on sharp cut on contact broadheads. Slick tricks are a great broadhead. For turkeys I would probably go with a decapper. I have had a few friends who hunted turkeys with bows and had lost birds or long retrievals and almost losing birds. One guy ways switching to a shotgun and giving up the bow for turkeys. Me personally I would choose a decapper. Dead turkey or miss.
I have posted this before, but this should help and refresh a lot of people who are bow hunting turkeys. Its all in the placement like on any other game you hunt. Goodluck and i hope this helps. The music in the Video is annoying but some might like it LOL

After more research and comments here, I think I will stick with my slick tricks, if "the shot" presents itself, I'll let an arrow fly, otherwise it can walk.
Found what looks to be a good posting on shot placements.

I use the same as I use for Deer-3-blade,125gr. Thunderheads. I just spent yesterday PM and today AM setting all my stuff out,rigging my pack. Now,I'll spend the next month with my rifle cleaning up on Coyotes and bow practice until the Turkety season opens.
Good video! seems to fall in line with the guides I had found as well, with regards to where to draw the lines.Quote:
