Hey Steve, nice name by the way.

Here's a few of the previous threads about turkey heads. You can always do a search, it will come up with many threads which will help you. But, it never hurts to get new opinions, that's why we're all here, to learn and to help.

Where do you shoot them and with what head?

If you want one head for both jobs, the Grim Reaper RazorCut 1 3/8 has been proven to put the smack down on both!!

I hope to get my first bird this spring. I have a few heads to choose from, the Reaper is leading the pack, but I may try somehting else

Another vote for Grim Reapers here, but I prefer the 1 3/4" cutting Extra Cut version just because I have momentum & KE to spare

Best of luck shooter, be sure to give us the details of your kills, along with plenty of picks.

Grim Reapers all the way...I shoot the 1 3/8" cut Razortips but I use the expander cups on them to make them 1 1/2" cut..Great heads, tough, sharp and deadly.
