    Default Archery Set-ups


    For those you who will be going after turkey with a bow, what will you be shooting for broadhead?
    I am really debating what to use. I shoot Rocky Mountain fixed blades, and am wondering if I should use those, or buy an expandable with a larger cut?
    For turkeys I would use the 125 gr Premier which has a 1.4 in cut.

    Archey Experts has Rocket Hammerheads on sale for $9.99. 2 in cut.

    What are you guys shooting?
    Also, I read somewhere about dulling the tips to reduce penetration, anyone do that?

    I shoot rocket hammerheads, expandable, that have a 3 or 4 inch cutting diameter (can not remember right off hand). They do alot of damage, which is good. 1 1/4 inch cut seems minimal for a turkey. Just my opinion.

    The NAP turkey heads will be on the ends of my arrows this year.

    I've heard nothing but good things about the Rocket heads for turkeys.
