My biggest penetration issue will probably be hitting one!

I decided to use single bevels for large game but I already has these deltas so they are for turkey and things like that now. I have good faith in my arrow set up, it's the Indian holding the bow I'm worried about.

Its beyond difficult, there is no doubt. Getting drawn, then concentrating enough to put it in a fist sized target while under the throes of the moment and likely at a target that is moving away....well,, it monumental when it all comes together imo. Not impossible though...

I think you basically have went the same route as I have. Them deltas will do anything you ask of them. Not really a big difference between them and my Stos, at least I dont think anyway.

Last year, I shot so badly under the bird it was embarrassing.....not even CLOSE! Its all fun and games though.

I think we have rios out here. I got to see the turkeys power to shed an arrow last year when my hunting buddy bounced one of this big head chopper rigs off a birds back with a 70# wheel bow. It looses a few feathers but the turkey seemed just fine. He swapped back to normal broadheads after that though lol

those stos look like great heads but I hear they don't make them anymore? My only gripe with he deltas is that their blade profile is slightly curved kind of like a Simmons tree shark, I would prefer a flat blade like the Magnus 1 but they don't make those anymore either than I know of.

I didnt realize STOS was done. I cant find his website anywhere though. What a shame. I hate seeing all these trad connected companys going out of business.

I am sure excited! I like the spring season much more than fall or winter, something seeing and watching all ground come back to life gets me ramped up for the new year.
