Silent Assassin · 03-29-2012, 09:55 AM

What do y'all recommend? Heading to Cabela's tomorrow...to get some arras and broadheads for Turkey Season. Need advice from GS expert!

Thanks!

I'm gonna give the Magnus Bullheads a try (like the gobbler Guillatines)

zaustin13 · 03-29-2012, 10:10 AM

Use a mechanical with large cutting diameter.

DrenalinJunkie · 03-29-2012, 10:12 AM

We always just used whatever old heads we had that had become slightly dull. That way you had a little less chance of pass throughs. Its hard to fly off with an arrow sticking out both sides(through the wings)

Thanks, keep em coming! I saw in Cabelas ad that was on sale for 29.99 but need to find it and look at brand that was in the ad it ran recently.

Appreciate the input!

Bullheads= no tracking if you get somewhat close to where you are aiming.

this or spit fire, but the spit fire do take a little more impact to open than the rage.

critter69 · 03-29-2012, 03:52 PM

turkeys and javelina are about the only ones i use rage and spitfires for.Every thing else gets" tricked ". The new rage 2.3" will get a chance next javelina season. They are thin skined and penetration is not a problem, I want the biggest hole I can put through them.

pigsticker64 · 03-29-2012, 07:23 PM

Two blade RAGE...

Ballcoach10 · 03-29-2012, 07:26 PM

Large Cutting Diameter expandable broadheads (insert your favorite brand here....NAP Spitfires for me). I am going to try the 85gr Grim Reapers this year since I switched arrow set ups....

Silent Assassin · 03-29-2012, 08:34 PM

Aluminum or Carbon arras?

Old Bald Guy · 03-29-2012, 08:52 PM

Thunderheads for thunderchickens.

Silent Assassin · 03-30-2012, 06:52 AM

Cabelas has new Rage Turkey broadhead...I think Im gunna try that...I was mistaken for it being on sale, just a big NEW over the broadhead. So??? I guess Ill be tryin that out.

Alum or Carbon Arras?

TxAg · 03-30-2012, 06:59 AM

Anysharp broadhead will work.

Don't shoot a dull head as mentioned above.

texanhoyt · 03-30-2012, 07:21 AM

Im just using my 1 3/8 grim reapers with carbon arrows. I bet the 2 inch grim reaper would be pretty lethal on turkey as well.

DoubleGArchery · 03-30-2012, 11:09 AM

Carbon
