Do y'all use adder points (turkey stoppers) behind your broadheads, or do you just use a broadhead. I've read that an arrow kills a turkey the same way it kills deer. It causes massive blood loss, which is easier to do with a complete pass through. I've also read that you should use adder points to cause more shock to the bird. The first idea makes more sense to me, but I've never shot a turkey with my bow (yet ;D), so I wouldn't know for sure.

I think there are two schools of thought on it. One like you mentioned was blood loss from pass through. That sounds good, but I would suspect the same amount of blood loss from a non-pass through but it will be mostly internal. Broadheads designed for turkeys and the adder points, etc go along with the second school of thought and that is knock down power through transfer of energy. A turkey isn't that thick and a sharp broadhead can zip right through hardly throwing the bird off balance if it happens to miss a big wing bone or something, where something designed to impede penetration transfers the energy from your arrow into the body of the bird as well as puts a sharp broadhead into the vitals.
Thats just my $.02, cause I don't fling arrows at them. If I did, I'd go for something designed to impede penetration.
