I will be using the RFA Phoenix, Slick Trick Magnum and I have one Rock Mtn. Snyper left. Not sure if I will try one of the head lopper types or not. Anyone have a suggestion or comment?

2 Blade rage for fall season the same time I'm deer hunting.

I'm gonna be using a 2 blade Rage.  I'm also thinking of putting some of the Cabela's Adder Points behind them to cut down on penetration.  Anybody else use them?

Magnus Bullheads & Stingers with the trad bow.
Turkey Tomahawk's with the compound.

Simmons Treesharks with the longbow or recurve. Fly good and cut WIDE  :happy0064:

I'm old school, mostly shoot a fixed cut on contact 2 blade set up, the last I bought was the Magnus, I loved the old carbon steel bear razor heads, they always sharped up and flew great.

Last couple of years I've been eyeball'n the mechanical heads, maybe I'm evolving away from my caveman mentality.

I'll be sticking with my Rage 2 blades again this year, and also still trying to get a shot with the Bullheads.

Something mechanical for sure may try the Rage. I have talked to guys who have used the adder points to slow down the penetration with good look I may just try that combo of Rage and adder points my self.

Thats what i was thinking.  The way i look at it with a turkey you dont want a complete pass through.  By leaving the arrow in the bird it will help immobilize it better and make recovery easier.  The last thing you want is a bird taking flight before it dies and going a couple hundred yards.  You guys with more experience bowhunting them correct me if I'm wrong.

You should take a look at the Red Feather Archery broadheads. I have the Phoenix 100 grain and they fly with field points. They are single beveled to produce a better wound channel.

Even with a large cut mechanical head the last thing you want to do is slow it down. Let that head do it's job and get through the bird. To me it's about how much damage you can do with your shot, and you have to remember that those tough feathers and bones are already taking a toll on your arrow's momentum on impact. As long as you hit vitals, spine or hips you will put the bird down. Use whatever broadhead you are confident in, but my recommendation is to use the largest cut mechanical you can get your hands on.....remember, those kill zones are small.
