Wanna put some turkey stuff on my XMAS list so what do you suggest for broadheads or what do you use for hunting turkey with a crossbow?

Much appreciated.

Don

I like a broadhead with a very large cut two inch or more for birds

Is it worth losing everything in your possession including your vehicle if ya get caught putting that turkey on your Christmas dinner plate?

Most good expandable broadheads will do the job.I hit my turkey this year in the butt of the wing and it sounded like it got hit with a baseball bat .

dont know if they will work with crossbows as I dont have one but i use Gobbler Guillotine broadheads with my compound and they are unreal.

I have decapitated two turkeys using these things. When you see it happen your jaw just drops.

Wheelie,

I don't see where Don mentioned killing an XMAS bird, he is asking what turkey hunting stuff to put on his XMAS wish list. If your trying to be funny, I missed the punch line.

At my local shop, the owner says that guys have claimed to use them with excallibur bows. This info is second hand. I would like to know if the Gobbler Guillotines work with my Phoenix too. Has anyone on used one themselves?

The stirrup is in the way to use the guillotines on the Excals, but guys have been known to remove them (stirrups) for this purpose. Also, a year or two ago someone skillfully added hinges to his bow so the stirrup would fold out of the way, very cool idea.

They have special arrows for that head.
maybe a call or something, decoy maybe...

I killed a nice Tom with a slick trick almost a month ago. The bolt went through the wing and severed the back. The bird dropped instantly.

I intend to use my whitetail set up for spring gobblers. God willing, I'll take one with my Remington 11-87 and my second one with the excal. We have a bunch of "thunder chickens" on our lease

Isn't there a gripper type attachment you can put on behind the broadhead so it doesn't just fly through the bird?

Zwicky grapplers, work like a charm and cheap to boot!
