    There’s no definitive answer, only opinion.

    Personally I use one broadhead for all. Muzzy Phantom

    If you can give some more details about your bow setup, guys can help you find a broadhead that is suitable. For example, what poundage are you shooting and what weight arrow are you shooting?

    In my state can only use mechanical/or fix blade for turkey and fix blade only for deer/elk. So I use Rage for turkey and WASP or Mussy for deer.

    X2 with WillO. I prefer 100 grain Slick Trick ViperTrick for turkey to elk. The only difference is the arrow I use, CE Red most of the time, heavier FJM for elk.

    My opinion is the Afflictor k2. Great head worth checking out. Used for deer and bear. I've never shoot a turkey with them, but my buddies have without ever having a problem. Screw them on and go.

    I don't know about turkey but I like slick trick magnums, 100 grain for hog and deer.

    Every time a new season rolls round I question by broadhead choice, I always end up using muzzy phantoms though.

    However, I’m really tempted by the Trocars

    I've shot Montecs for the last 4 years and will continue to for as long as foreseeable into the future but I did pick up some Spitfire Doublecross to try out next season. Montecs have performed every time but I got curious about the doublecross and the blood trail they produce.

    I did the same thing with the NAP Killzone, honestly doubt I’ll use them though. I love the simplicity of the Phantoms

    I shot a doe quartering to me pretty hard with the montec and had a full pass thru from just behind the front shoulder and exit just before her hind leg, she made it about 60 yards before she took her dirt nap. The only downfall I had with the montec in that situation was the lack of blood after about 35 yards. I dont think I would take that shot with a mechanical though.
