I've never tried a guillotine, and I've only shot a crossbow once.
That being said, here's my uneducated take...
It seems like many crossbow users prefer mechanicals to broadheads. I can only assume that is to avoid planing. I've heard that the guillotine does a pretty quick nosedive - very limited range (I've heard as little as 10 yards). Granted, you won't be taking shots at long distances for turkey, but I would guess the guillotine would severely limit your range, even moreso with a crossbow.
I'd love to hear from someone who has actually tried it, though.

I have heard that they are great for killing turkey if your goal is like mine to harvest the meat after the kill. But I guess they can be bad for those who want to save the beard or have theyre picture taken with a complete turkey. I have not tried them personally but have heard they do the job they advertise. I do remember reading that the blades wont clear the stirrup of some crossbows too. Please keep us updated.

Why would you run hunter's off? turkeyshooter only said that he had never tried a crossbow, what's wrong with that? Any hunter that uses any gun, bow or for that matter a non-hunter looking to learn should be welcome. Who cares if he hunts with a different bow than you do. We need to be "Hunters supporting Hunters"

I have but 1 comment!
I hunt with all weapons, Gun, ML, Bow, Crossbow and probably a pistol this year. To say that one is harder and more of a challenge than another is NOT "HUNTERS SUPPORTING HUNTERS". Sounded to me that it was a troll who signed up just to post a contraversial post to stir [censored]! If not then by all means accept my appology, BUT THIS IS A POST ASKING ABOUT BROADHEADS FOR CROSSBOWS! NOT WHICH WAS MORE CHALLENGING OR MORE EXCITING!
