    Check your local regs! Here in Minnesota they are illegal because of the cut diameter. Also they do not make much of an entry hole. They are designed to open after penetrating the skin.

    That being said I know the local pro shop owner uses them on turkeys. He has killed 60 some birds with these heads. They are very deadly.

    If you want a 2 blade mechanical head I would (and did) go with the Rage. They make a good entrance and exit hole. Nearly softball sized in the coyote I shot on Sunday!

    Those 2 bladed rages leave a good size hole. my buddy shot one with it. u can stick 3-4 fingers in the entrance and 4for sure on exit. maybe a little over board on the finger thing.

    I am using the 2 blade this year... the rule says no more than 2" so I am pushing it.

    You are right about the holes... The coyote I shot Sunday had a hole the size of a softball! Blood trail like crazy too. Made it maybe 30 yards and that was all.
