Turkey hunting with Speed mechanical broadheads

SPEED BROADHEADS FOR TURKEY

Mechanical Broadheads Built for Turkeys

Speed broadheads are rear-deploy mechanical broadheads built around a 2.0-inch cutting diameter, low-force blade deployment and Patented Piston Lock Technology. The Speed Crosscut emphasizes maximum penetration and cut-on-contact performance; the Speed Titanium emphasizes durability and Grade 5 titanium strength.

WHY TURKEY BROADHEAD SELECTION IS DIFFERENT

A Smaller Target A Bigger Need for Reliable Cutting

Turkey hunting puts a premium on precise shot placement, dependable blade deployment and a broad cutting path. Speed broadheads are engineered as rear-deploy mechanical broadheads to dominate turkey hunting, with 2.0-inch cutting configurations and Patented Piston Lock Technology.

A turkey presents a more compact target than big game, so broadhead performance should complement accuracy rather than replace it. Speed's rear-deploy mechanical broadheads are built around blade retention in flight, low-force deployment at impact and locking open for a full 2.0" cut from entry to exit.

WHY CUT SIZE MATTERS IN A TURKEY BROADHEAD

2.0-Inch Turkey Broadheads Built for the Cut

The Speed Crosscut and Speed Titanium 100 configurations use a 2.0-inch cutting diameter, giving hunters a large-cut turkey broadhead option in both platforms. On a compact target like a turkey, a broad cutting path will increase tissue disruption and break turkeys down fast when paired with accurate shot placement and dependable deployment.

2.0" CUT

A large cutting profile designed to create substantial tissue disruption on a well-placed shot.

.039" thick BLADES

EDM-cut stainless steel blades are built for sharp, consistent cutting performance.

SUB 100 BESS SHARPNESS

Individually honed blades are engineered for a razor sharp edge at impact.

LOCKS OPEN

Speed Broadhead blades lock open once deployed to break turkeys down fast.

WHY DEPLOYMENT FORCE MATTERS IN MECHANICAL BROADHEADS FOR TURKEY

Less Force to Open More Confidence at Impact

Mechanical broadheads must use the arrow's energy to deploy their blades. Speed's Patented Piston Lock Technology requires only 1.5 pounds of force to initiate deployment — the lowest deployment force of any mechanical broadhead. The rearward center of gravity of Speed Broadheads blades ensure that the blades cannot open in flight.

1.5 LB Deployment

Less wasted energy. More penetration.

LOCKS OPEN

After deployment, the blades lock open for the cutting phase of the shot.

SHOT PLACEMENT STILL MATTERS

Broadhead Performance Starts With Accuracy

A large cutting diameter and reliable deployment can support recovery, but they do not replace precise shot placement. Turkey hunters should match their broadhead choice to a complete bow-and-arrow setup they can shoot accurately and consistently.

ACCURACY FIRST

Choose a setup you can place consistently on a compact target.

COMPLETE SETUP

Draw weight, arrow weight, speed, and broadhead choice work together as a system.

LOWER-POUNDAGE SUCCESS

Customers have reported successful hunts with setups under 50 pounds.

NO UNIVERSAL MINIMUM

Speed does not prescribe one universal minimum draw weight for turkey hunting.

PATENTED PISTON LOCK TECHNOLOGY

Locked in Flight Low-Force at Impact

Speed's Patented Piston Lock Technology keeps the blades retained in flight and requires approximately 1.5 pounds of force to initiate deployment.

That combination matters for turkey hunters because it provides dependable blade retention before impact and a low-resistance transition into the 2.0-inch cutting configuration after impact.
