I question how well they fly on longer shots. At the very least there is NO way they'll fit in a quiver. Looks like a good way for someone to get cut or cut a string. I can see how they'd kill the heck out of a bird, but I'd kill myself or a friend in the dark with these things. WOW.... 38 bucks for 3.

I'm d'ling the video now before I make my assesement but I can tell you this.....
It's hard enough to get turkey's within bow range and even harder to get drawn back on them without being spotted. Once I get a turkey inside of 20 and I am pulled back with my green pin on him, I doubt very seriously I would take a head shot.
Just watched most of the video, they were practicing on white turkeys. The head looks devistating but like David said, I bet 20 yds is pushing it's limits....

4pt... at the end of the video they whack a wild Texas turkey(jake). I'm with you, I don't think these white turkeys move their heads around like a wild bird on alert.

I have to agree with 4pt. it's hard enough to get drawn on a turkey, and I ain't goin to blow my chance of a kill by tryin a head shot.  now for a body shot , they should be deadly. |

If I am reading you correctly Bo, you think the heads would be effective for body shots on turkeys?
I do not. Just look at the video, the heads were bouncing off of the turkeys shot in the neck.

you'd waste tons of meat if you took a body shot with them.

I didn't look at the video, takes to long to load. I was just assuming they were expandable heads, if their fixed heads, then I doubt they would even penetrate
the turkeys thin hide.

 I think I`ll stick with my Muzzy 3 Blade with that little Star-Ring that you can put between the Broadhead and your Arrow. That thing looks like you`d be shooting an Umbrella through the wood`s,may work fine for them,but on these Osceola`s,I`ll stick with the Old Faithful Muzzy
