I would like to hear what broadheads people are using on turkey this year and why? I will be using Zwickey 4 blade Deltas on these Iowa birds. I get great arrow flight, great penetration and highly accurate within the 15 yards I limit myself regarding turkeys. Thanks!

The same I have been using on deer and pigs.  Because it worked on the last one I shot with them.
If I even bother to hunt them that is.

I will be shooting 2 blade Zwickey heads, the same as I use for deer.

3 blade 175 grain VPA.  Sharpen easy, tune easy, and cut a lot.  My Favorite broadhead!

I've killed one bird with a two blade head. All the rest were shot with the big Magnus I 4 blade. Probably what I'll use next time... I've got a stash. 

I recommend anything that's big and razor sharp.

160 snuffer or a bullhead. The snuffers fly great and sharpen easily. With the bullhead I just watch them drop and quiver.

160 stuffers for me too because I have some and don't use them for anything else.

I've killed them with four-blade Deltas and two-blade Eskimos and Magnus IIs. Also a couple with Wensel Woodsman's.  Will be carrying a couple of big Snuffers in the quiver this year.

3 blade snuffer for me too

The "V" filed back into the tip eliminates deflection we are 100% recovery Turkey hit with this head.

WOW,,,I bet that's a THUMPER!

I think any good broadhead will do the job, with turkeys it more about shot placement. An old Bear Razorhead with the bleeder was use on this bird

Solid D-CAP.  Last 2 birds dropped on the spot.  Most likely a clean miss or a rapid kill with no tracking.  Now  if you miss your target by almost exactly the width of the broadheads to the front you could cut off the beak.  A very unlucky situation.  Then again, if you miss by a few inches with a conventional broadhead and shot at the vitals it is likely a lost bird, maybe gutshot.  I like big vpa, snuffer, or Simmons heads,  but shoot to break the pelvis(a recommendation from a hunter I respect) to aid in recovery.

I am in total agreement with you Ron, shot placement the key for success. My hit my first turkey a little low, so the chase was on. I was lucky enough to recover that bird. Lesson learned. I also learned a key point was to practice from a chair as if I was in a blind. A sharp two, three or four blade will do the trick. I remember several years ago turkey hunting central Pennsylvania, I met a guy that use to shoot a 4 blade Eskimo Zwickey and he swore on dulling up the bleeder blades because he believed it caused more trauma to the turkey. I guess everyone has their ways.

190 gr Simmons Treesharks for me.  Like the V idea above, never seen that before.

I am going with the 175 grain VPA's, they just fly great!  I do have some glue on 145 grain Magnus Snuffers that I am playing around with. 

I'll be flinging a Grizzly head at them this spring because they work well on everything that I've hit with them thus far and I already have arrows built with them. 

Tree Sharks are easily my number one choice.

I have had great luck with the rounded version of the four blade Herter's.

175gr Ace Super Expresses. Large cutting diameter, very easy to sharpen, and as durable as they come.
