Mainly Rocket Sledgehammers. Did carry Magnus bullheads this year but didn't get an opportunity to try them. Maybe next year.

I use the same Slick Trick Mag 100s that I use for deeer hunting. They fly well and, delivered into the vitals" do the "trick". Accuracy is the most important; broadhead is secondary.

Has anyone ever used G5 Montecs for turks?  I've harvested a few deer using their 100 grain Montec CS.  If others have found them to be less effective on turkeys, then I would look in to some other options.

Thanks,

Eric

Pretty much any broadhead will work, especially a large cut expandable. Like said above shot placement is more important. When I did bowhunt turkeys, I used Rocket Stricknine heads. The blades don't hold up well, but they kill turkeys. In my opinion, you want to "thump" a turkey when using a bow. You want the bird to absorb all the energy from the arrow....you don't want the arrow just zipping through it. A lot of people that bowhunt them will turn the weight down on the bow and in combination with the big cut expandable get that "thump".

I've heard that as well. I really don't want to make any changes in my draw weight (which would also create a need to move pins).  The Montec CS's have zipped through deer for me, but deer aren't covered in feathers and wing bones!  That's why I was hoping someone might have experience with Montecs on Toms.

I wonder what the difference is between the turkey and deer/big game heads?  I hope its more than just what the packaging says.

From what I can see, the only difference is the turkey head has 2 1/4" cut compared to the 2" of the regular/deer head.
