muzzy 4 blade or guillotine?

Unread postby mastevt » Tue Apr 28, 2015 1:35 pm

Going solo in the morning since my oldest is way behind on his yards. Going with the bow. I have both broadheads in my quiver. What do you all recommend? I've never shot a turkey with a bow.

I would opt for a big 2"+ cut mechanical myself. With turkeys you want lots of damage which means either the head loppers or a big mechanical. I don't use a screen and I shoot them at 5 yards or so generally. If you have a black backed blind and wear all black you should be fine.

X2 Turkeys bob around a lot so are very tough to hit exactly where you want to. I like the biggest expandable I can find - flop flop dead. I lost several birds with fixed heads before switching to big expendables and have not lost one since.

I have never used guillotines but my brother tells me they are pretty finicky to get to fly right.
