    I'm thinkin of using NAP blood runners this year. If they don't open they'll still cut on contact. I'm just hopin that I'll actually get one to come in front of my blind this year instead of the sides like the past 2 years which forced me to switch to the shotgun.

    I actually like the head loppers. I have both the guillotines and magnus bullheads.

    I just keep using my trusty Muzzy MX-3 125-grain.... 1 1/8 cut, steel ferrule. Gets the job done every time.

    I have put several diff broad heads thru turkeys, and I have had the best recovery results with Grim Reapers.

    I use the same G5 Montecs I use for deer. One shot above the leg and it is game over for the bird.

    Haven't seen those dead ringers yet but I don't see how you can go wrong with a 5" cut! Very impressive!!

    Usually the same I use for 4 legged aminals - either G5 or Wac'ems. When that fails I pull out 'ol turkey thumper - an 870 Express 12 gauge with #5's.

    that dead ringer looks crazy! I'd like to know just what it would do with a body shot vs head. Like he said a miss is a clean miss. head shots are fine up close but out 30 yds not so easy. the video looked like it had a few very devastating body shots.
