Points for Turkey?

(1/3) > >>

coyote pup:
I was thinking of trying to stick a "put-put" this spring and I was wondering. What kind of point is best to use? What has worked best for you guys that hunt turkeys?

Thanks

Pappy:
I just use a good sharp 2 blade broad head. :)

 I used a stone point.

sailordad:
hell ive used 7/8ths wide broadheads and even the 4" gobbler guillotine blades
cant use stone here

sharp blades,very sharp blades but remember more than anything shot placement is very criticle with turkeys
thier vital are is very small,roughly the size of a golf ball.
head/neck shots make for less wounded birds running around(thats all i take anymore)
if you can get them walking away from you,you can shoot them in the back and hope to spine them
i avoid side shots thru the wings with a bow.them wings are like armour.they can stop all kinds of stuff.
i shot one this year with my 12 ga at 13 yds,found bb's caught in the wing feathers.that was a 3" turkey mag too.

goodluck chasing them buzzards :)

mullet:
Tim, I wouldn't want to try grabbing one flapping and flipping with a sharp broadhead hanging out. I got lucky when I hit mine. I cut the main artery coming from the heart, but he still flew 25,30 yards and walked around for about 5 minutes before he fell over. I shot a turkey last year with #6 shot. When I cleaned it I couldn't believe all the different size shot stuck under it's skin from previous hunters.
