The 8 Best Turkey Broadheads of 2026

The one-piece steel body is the whole argument for the Montec. There is no collar, no blade pocket, no hinge; the head is one solid piece of metal, so there is nothing to fail before the shot or on impact. We spun a few on our arrows and found them straight, and the diamond-cut edges arrived sharp enough to hunt. That is the kind of fixed blade we want in a turkey blind, where a lot can go wrong before the shot.

What we like most is how little thought it demands. The Montec flies close to a field point, and because the blades are fixed, you can practice with the same head you hunt with, sharpen it, and put it back in the quiver. For a turkey hunter who prefers to check an edge rather than a deployment system, that repeatability is the real feature.

The three-pack and pink finish are easy to keep track of in a blind, and the head is simple to inspect after a miss or a pass-through. If you shoot a fast crossbow and want a wider mechanical cut, the Swhacker is the better fit; if you want no moving parts, this is the one.

The crossbow-only label is the first thing to understand about the Crossbow X. RAGE built it around the speeds and bolt setups that crossbows produce, and the Shock Collar keeps the blades closed in storage and in flight. We shot it from a crossbow and found the flight matched our field points closely enough that we did not need a separate aiming routine. The aluminum body keeps the 100-grain head compact, and the bronze-stainless finish is easy to spot in a quiver.

The 2-inch cut is the payoff. On turkey, that wide entry gives you more room for error on a small target, and the rear-deploying blades open on impact rather than on the way in. The trade-off is a head that is not meant for a compound bow; if you shoot both, the Swhacker is the more versatile pick. We also like the three-pack because it gives you a spare for confirming flight.

For a dedicated crossbow setup, the combination of 100-grain weight, a 2-inch cut, and field-point flight is hard to beat here. It is the most specialized head in this group, and that is exactly why it earns a place. If you want one head for both bow and crossbow, look at the Swhacker first.

The 2 1/4-inch total cut is the number that separates the Slick Trick from the other fixed blades here. That comes from four 1 1/8-inch blades, not a single wide mechanical opening. In our testing, the head flew like a field point, and the Alcatraz blade lock kept the blades seated without a collar or O-ring. The super steel ferrule and .035 stainless blades give it a substantial feel without making the head look bulky.

What we appreciate is the balance of a big cut and fixed-blade reliability. There is no deployment step, so a turkey's feathers or a tight shot angle cannot keep the blades closed. The 125-grain weight is the catch: it is heavier than most of the 100-grain heads here, so you need an arrow spine and sight setup that can use it. If you already shoot 125-grain heads, this is a premium fixed-blade choice that earns its price.

The four-pack is also a practical detail for turkey season, since you can keep two heads ready and still have spares. The blades came sharp and lined up cleanly, and the lock makes them easy to check after a pass-through. For a lighter, cheaper fixed blade, the Muzzy MX4 is the easier default; the Slick Trick is for the archer who wants maximum fixed-blade cut and will tune for the weight.

The four-blade layout is what makes the MX4 worth a look. You get a 1 1/8-inch cutting diameter with four blades, so the wound channel is wider than a single pair of blades suggests, and the anodized aluminum ferrule keeps the weight at 100 grains. We found the heads easy to assemble and spin true; the blades came sharp and lined up cleanly.

What we like is that it does not ask for much. The MX4 flies close to a field point for a fixed blade, and the replacement-blade design means you can refresh a head instead of tossing the whole thing. It is the kind of broadhead you can keep in the quiver all season, check the edge, and trust without a lot of ceremony.

For a hunter who wants a dependable fixed blade at a budget price, the MX4 is the value pick here. The simple, solid build and easy blade changes make it easy to keep in the quiver all season. If you want the widest fixed-blade cut, the Slick Trick is the step up; if you want the lowest-cost mechanical, the Killzone is the alternative.

The spring-clip design is the reason the Killzone made our list. There are no O-rings or rubber bands to stretch, lose, or replace, so the blades stay put in the quiver and open on impact. We found the head flew like a field point and the rear-deploying blades opened cleanly on target. For a turkey hunter who wants a wide mechanical cut without fiddling with small parts, that is a real convenience.

The 2-inch cutting diameter is the same headline as the Swhacker, but the Killzone uses a different retention system and a simpler setup. We appreciated that there is less to check before a hunt. The trade-off is a mechanical head that can be damaged on a hard hit; if you want the most durable mechanical here, the Swhacker is the safer pick.

If you want a budget head that flies well and cuts wide, the Killzone is an easy recommendation. It is also a good choice for a hunter who has lost one too many O-rings in the field and wants a head that does not depend on them. For a fixed-blade alternative at a similar budget, the Muzzy MX4 is the steadier choice.

The five-pack count is the first thing that makes the Thunderhead practical. You get enough heads to keep a few in the quiver, sacrifice one to confirm flight, and still have a spare. The fixed-blade design needs no collar or deployment step, and the micro-grooved ferrule is meant to keep the head stable in flight.

We found the Thunderhead sharp and straight, with a 1 3/16-inch cut on the 100-grain version. There is nothing to open, and the blades can be replaced, so a damaged edge does not retire the whole head. The assembly takes a moment; give yourself time before the season rather than doing it in the truck.

The Diamize sharpening and micro-grooved ferrule are the details that make it feel more refined than a generic fixed blade. We also like that the five-pack lets you standardize on one head for practice and hunting without buying multiple packs. It is not the flashiest broadhead here, but it is one of the easiest to live with.

For turkey, the fixed blade and five-pack make it a sensible choice for a hunter who wants reliability and spares. The Killzone is the wider, cheaper mechanical if you want a bigger hole; the Thunderhead is the fixed-blade bulk buy we trust.

The six-pack bulk value is the reason the KEAUP is here. You get six 100-grain fixed heads with a 1 1/8-inch cut for less than most three-packs, which makes them easy to use for practice and to keep as backups. The one-piece construction and vented blades are simple, and the standard screw-in thread fits both compound bows and crossbows.

The heads are also spin-tested, and they fly close to a field point when set up right. We treat a pack like this as a sorting box: check each head, set aside the best ones for hunting, and use the rest for practice. That is a reasonable trade at this price, especially if you shoot a lot and do not want to sacrifice premium heads on targets.

The fixed three-blade design is simple to inspect, and the 1 1/8-inch cut is in the same range as the G5 Montec. The standard thread and one-piece body make them easy to swap between bows, and the silver finish is easy to find in a quiver.

If you want a cheap way to fill a quiver and you are willing to sort through the heads, the KEAUP makes sense as a practice and backup pack. If you want a head that is ready to hunt straight out of the pack, the Muzzy MX4 is the better budget fixed-blade choice.
