Ok guys, what broadhead does everyone prefer for turkeys? I hear on a regular basis that expandibles are prefered! I plan on sticking with my Muzzy head.
Any thoughts?

I used the Nap Gobbler Getter this year and it did what it was supposed to do. Max damage without passing through. The only problem I have hard from people if the turkey is not directly straight away, facing too or broadside it can glance off the bird because of the blunted tip.

thanks hnter! I have seen many a video of guys shooting them with the muzzy fixed and of course they do well! I have been practicing the head shot but know this is not a high percentage shot, but wont count it out. I am only shooting 62 lbs and I am a little concerned about the bird flying away after the shot. I imagine the kill zone is a bit small. Thanks for the imput!

I am only shotting 62 lbs also. I killed a hen a few falls ago with a regular expandable. It passed though but she just flopped once and died. The nap stayed in the turkey the whole time he flopped.
I took a broadside shot on the jake. You want to go halfway up on the body. Follow up the legs just in front of them to destroy the hips joint(s) once you do that he can't run to run away or take off in flight
