As others have said the NAP spitfires and Gobblergetters have done well for me as also. Taken turkeys ducks and geese with them without issue.

Shaving sharp is the goal. Brand not so much.

Look at the Rage Turkeyhead broad head, Rage Xtreme, Grim Reaper Whitetail Special 2" 3 Blade or a NAP Gobblergetter

Any 2"+ expandable, preferably 3 bladed. I've shot them with g5 T3(now deadmeat), hypodermics, chinadermics, rocket hammerhead xts, and grim reaper whitetail specials. Of those the whitetail specials are my favorite as they actually hold up. I can think of one bird in the last 17 that made it more than 20yds.

high shots are no good.

I'd argue most lost birds are shot too low and through the breast. The only way you can hit them too high is on a strutting bird in which case you shot feathers, not the turkey.

I always used a rocket hammerhead.  They worked well.  Buddy uses his NAP spitfires and does well.  Anything archery is shot placement 1st and foremost.

I also carried a blunt in case they were "head up" after the shot.  It would really knock em out and you could get on them.

Practice out of your blind or how you plan to sit....can really really feel different than just standing up and shooting targets.

Good luck!

Cranking down your draw weight on your whitetail setup would also be a good idea. 50-60lbs is plenty to go through a turkey and it will allow you you hold draw longer or draw from an awkward position more prominent in turkey hunting.

IMO It all boils down to picking the right shot placement. A rule of thumb I tend to steer towards for quick reference points is top of bronze pad and in between the legs. Easiest way to insure you’re aiming in the right spot during the moment of truth. That shot will grant you wing, thigh damage and ofcourse vitals.  I like a fast and light setup one pin to 32 yards. As most have said you can’t go wrong with a big cut mechanical. I tend to like a over the top deoloying hybrid style head featuring a big cut but nothing crazy. You can shoot a big cut mechanical and that’s fine and dandy but if your bow isn’t tuned properly or you’re having a hard time getting the broadhead of choice to fly good out of said bow it defeats the point in a big cut mechanical.

This right here.

Has anyone used a Rage Xtreme? https://southeasternbowhunting.com/best-turkey-broadheads/ breaks one down.

Any big expandable seems to work well. I've had great luck with rage extreme and grim reaper whitetail specials.
