    Wondering what the best arrows and arrow weight would be for turkeys. I'm shooting Victorys now but in need of some new arrows.

    Honestly there is no right answer to this question. It is a matter of preference. I would recommend setting you bow up for what you hunt most, say for deer. Any arrow combo you use for deer should work for turkeys. Back in the day I wanted speed and stayed around 350-375 grains. Now I am leaning towards 425-450 grains. Lots of good arrows out there hope you settle on one you like. Good luck.

    Thanks for the help guys, Right now I am right around 420 grains, maybe I'll just keep my same set up.

    I don't see any reason to change what you have now. The arrow I use for deer is about 415ish and Im just going to use the same arrows for turkey.
