Turkey with the crossbow?

[Makoman]

Plan on trying for a long beard in PA with my X-Bow. Just wonder if anyone knows which type of bolt would work best? Field point or broadhead?

thats a good one, I'd like to know my self I would think a broad head or one that opens a few feet from the bow :huh: if they have one that does that. If so I'm in if not broad head I think. :thup:

I thought there were broadheads specifically for turkey hunts? I'll poke around...

[Ole 20 Point]

Just poked around a bit and the popular picks for turkey broadheads seem to be these:
Steel Force Talon
Hammerheads
The Bullhead
the guillotine 100 grain 2.5 inch (intended for head shots)
Slick Trick with an Adder behind
Rage 2
Muzzy 3 or 4

But the only one above that I saw that specifically got positive reviews for the xgun was the guillotine 100 grain 2.5 inch.

Anyone have some knowledge about how some of the above braodheads will perform on a turkey using a xgun?

I've heard that the problem with the types of broad heads are that the foot sterop on an X/BOW can interfear with the broad head because they site behind the foot of the sterop and can hit when fired .My barnnet penatrator and the predatore are a little resesed for more broad head room to pass maybe they can work but most others donn't have the space . as you asked maybe some one can give more information, I for one would love to use the giulatein saw it used on t.v. and its deadly hope we can get more info from an other barner :thup:

Hate to say it but a Rage will do the trick. BTW I shoot spits.

Talked with Horton today and they said that their 100 grain, 3 bladed broadhead is OK to use for turkey. I have them so that's what I'll be trying.

You Pennsylvania guys have it good. Jersey has excluded the X-bow for 'the big birds'.
