Turkey Broadheads
A few weeks ago, AB3 took a poll on the types of broadheads most archers and hunters preferred. He gives his thoughts on what he considers surprising results from the poll, the differences between fixed and mechanical blades, and how to improve your turkey hunts.
Episode Highlights
- Differences between fixed blades and mechanical (expandable) blades
- Why 62% of respondents prefer fixed broadheads to mechanical broadheads for turkey hunts
- The importance of penetration and shot placement
3 Key Points
- Fixed blades are the choice for traditionalists who prefer shooting lower-poundage bows. Mechanical blades, which require bows rated 50 pounds or more, have their blades closed until impact, whereupon they expand to cut through the target.
- 62% of respondents say that they prefer fixed broadheads when hunting turkey. There were two reasons given: Either they personally had a bad experience using mechanical blades (i.e. failed to open) or, more likely, they were told by a fellow hunter that mechanical blades are unreliable or outright useless.
- Any type of bowhunting requires thought put into penetration and shot placement. A skilled hunter will achieve kill after kill regardless of broadhead type with great shot placement. However, since there are blades designed specifically for turkeys, you might as well maximize your chances for success by investing in the right broadheads.
Three Powerful Quotes
- If you ever try to bowhunt turkeys, you’ll quickly find out that the vitals are very, very small. With a fixed blade, cutting range and diameter are a lot smaller than an expandable blade. So, I was very, very surprised to see that 62% of bowhunters out there are bowhunting turkeys with fixed blades. ~AB3
- When it comes to bowhunting, penetration and shot placement are the two things you can’t get around. ~AB3
- You have to be pinpoint accurate to kill turkeys with headshots. Guys and gals that can kill turkeys with a headshot are a rare breed. ~AB3
