I use my muzzy, but thinking of changing to a head lopper style.

This will be my first year turkey hunting so I am using my Grim Reaper Whitetail Specials from deer hunting. I think the guillotine style heads are neat though. Looking forward to hearing what everyone else is using too.
It's not the knowing that's difficult, but the doing.

The biggest mechanical head you can get is the best. Personally I love the Grim Reaper Whitetail Specials as well. Rocket Hammerheads are great too.

Whatever you use for deer. It doesn't matter.

Either the biggest mechanical you can find or go for the head with a bullhead or something similar. It doesn't seem like it but honestly the heads the biggest easiest yo hit target.

I like the Grim Reaper too. Like Muddy said, huge mechanic head is best.

It takes one turkey tracking job to convert you to a big broadhead guy.

I usually shoot muzzy mx3 (fixed 3 blade). Has anyone who shoots a mechanical at extremely close distance (15-20 yards), ever had it not open?
