For glue ons I prefer the Wensel Woodsman or Grizleys. Any glue on, fixed blade broadhead will work OK on turkeys as long as you do your part. I think a 3 blade will give you a bigger,better hole. I usually use the amber archery glue sticks for points but any glue should work fine. Pat

I used to use five minute epoxy with metal heads and do the whole bunch all at once.seemed to work good.never had any come loose.(Doing stone heads now)Only shot a couple of turkeys with arrows,used the same arrows I used for deer.(2-blade magnus) Good luck ! Frank

I would recommend a 2-blade head. If you hit a turkey in the wing butt, sometimes it's hard to get the kind of penitration you need with a 3 or 4 blade head. For head on or up the bung hole shots anything will do, but the thick base of them big wing feathers is tough. Saw Filer

Wolverines by Grizzly are better than 2 blade MA's IMO. Think they are 140 grain and like said 2 blade. Wing shots are tough on putt-putts its a tough place ta penetrate as also said........bob

I like the zwicky 2 blade and use hot melt glue so I can change the tips if needed,,, The MA-3 is a mild steel head and don't really hold an edge that well,, just my experience.

hot Melts are fine and good...but I have lost a few because of bad cohesion....so I am with Bob....use a good two part epoxy....and be done with it

I prefer hot melt(the archery stuff) so I can adjust if the point becomes untrue. I know epoxy will soften with heat but will it be as strong after heating? Pat

I like Grizzlies and Wensels. I also use hotmelt glue sticks. But I buy them out of Woodworking Cataloge, it seems to be better. I like to be able to remove them for 3-D shoots.

i like the magnus 2 blade. right after i attach the heads i go and shoot them into my fence. this will bend the tips a lil bit then i resharpen them. that way the tips are a lil less pointed and less likely to bend if they hit bone.
