For turkey use the heaviest arrow that you can live with the trajectory. (Shoot for 650 grains - why not shoot the same weight arrow for turkey that you will be using for your other big game hunting?) The wider the broadhead the better. It is surprising how tough a turkey can be and watching them fly away with your arrow can ruin your hunt. That's why even for turkey we recommend a heavy arrow - but with a big wide broadhead that will do a lot of damage on its way through and put your turkey down for good.
All of our arrows and broadheads work great on turkey, but consider the REALLY wide Silver Flame XXL. These broadheads cut a DEVASTATING wound channel. When powered by heavy GrizzlyStik arrows expect pass-throughs. Why not go for complete penetration every time? This system is especially good for those shooting lightweight bows, an efficient arrow and broadhead setup like this can make a 45# - 50# bow perform like a 60# bow.
