The Gobbler Guillotine

Wow. That's a weird lookin' thing, ain't it?

I only hunt with a recurve, and I've never been interested in hunting turkeys with it - but if I was going to use a compound for turkey hunting, I guess I'd probably be willing to give that a shot. Have to be careful about choosing your shot, though. Wouldn't exactly be a brush-buster with those arms sticking out like that.

I saw those things at the local archery shop. They were $40 a pop, and the owner said they would most likely break after a single shot! Seems kinda steep to me!

wow, id like to see a turkeys head taken clean off. You know you got him then. Id say thats worth a shot, but at 40 dollars, a little steep. I hunt turkey with a shotgun and Ive never seen anything like that.

Kind of a bizzare lookin thing. I used to shoot pheasant with a bow in Washington State using heavy hickory shafts fitted with bird heads, which are sort of like blunts with four wire loops coming out of it. The idea was to lead the bird and catch it's head/neck in the wires, breaking it's neck. I see no reason it wouldn't work for turkey,...especially at under 30 yds with vanes instead of flu-flu feathers.

Heck I killed almost as many birds a day as the shotgunners <G>

I hunted with those last year and they work well as long as you can hit in the neck 100% of the time. If you are off at all you can count that bird a loss and yes the blades do break easy but they do sell replacements for them.
I stoped using them though because they are limited to really only turkey so I had to pass up several hogs. Just my .02.

Don't shoot 'em myself but I have seen 'em in action.

They work very well.
