Turkey broadheads?

[Bucksnbows]

My daughter is now bugging me to set her crossbow up for hunting turkey, deer and bear this coming season.  I am curious what others have tried and liked on your crossbows for turkey?  Against my better judgement, I got her the Rage 2 blades for deer and I think she will be forced (by her evil father) to shoot fixed heads for bear if she goes this October, but I am an open book when it comes to turkey broadheads.  

 

Also, body shot or head shot?  Seems to be two schools on that.  She wants to shoot at the body and not risk missing if shooting at the head.  She's an excellent shot, but who knows what will happen when she is shooting at a live animal for the first time....

I really like the Trauma broadhead from Dead Ringer. Best on turkeys I used yet.

Killzones.If shes confident with the head do it but if not there's no shame in a body shot.My favorite shot is facing straight on right below where the neck meets the body.drops em dead.

Grim reaper 2" whitetail specials.

they put birds down fast.

 

Head shot with heads like the magnus bullheads make for clean ethical kills too BUT you need the bird better positioned to use them.

using a  regular style head you can shoot them in the vitals at many more angles, when the tom doesnt cooperate

Personally, I like to have Federal Premium 3rd degree in 3", but as long as the placement is good, she'll kill a turkey with any good broad head.  Rage Hypodermics are good -- hit that neck when he looks up and the next thing his eyes will see will be ......well, nothing because he'll be dead. But, you get my drift.

Another vote for Grim Reaper whitetail specials. You may need a rubber band if shooting out of a crossbow.

Rocket buckblasters has dropped more than a few for me over the years and never had

to track any...always dropped on the spot. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_KYtXeGSOvY

That was awesome, thanks for posting that video Mike.  

 

 

Next time you should wait and let the bird come in close.  I thought you might have to switch to a bayonet.
