"Threaded Game-Tracker Devices" for Archery..

Ha ha, shoulda grabbed that string and held on after the first couple hundred yards of line went out.

I took a guy out one time that was a champion archer on the 3D range, but had never taken game with his bow. He bought one of those, and like some have said it was good out to 20 yds. I called in a tom for him, and he shot it low. We sat there and watched hundreds of yards of line run out, until it was empty. We looked all over that property, and never did see that string.
Maybe we missed it?? Don't know.

He probably hit the bird too far forward (assuming a broadside shot). If it was in the vital area broadside, the low shot would have taken out the hips and the bird would have fallen over.

Most people don't understand the anatomy of a turkey when it comes to shooting them with a bow. The vitals are a lot further back and lower than most people expect.

I believe that and thanks for the tip - similar to how a lot of people don't know that an elk's heart & lungs are a bit lower and further forward than on a deer, and much more so than they expect, and where the hole is down low between bones, where you have to place your arrow to ensure hitting heart with no deflection. My semi-bubba friend has told multiple stories of losing elk that he thought he hit well (lose track now; at least 3 times; 2 ML and 1 or more archery), that got away. Sounds like too far back liver shots to me. No blood trail and no elk, after hours searching. I think he'd benefit from this device. Well, it won't work with a muzzleloader.

Your correct, Low and forward.
I've taken 5 toms with my bow, but its always been from a tree stand, pinning them to the ground.

Actually, we thought about grabbing the string, but it was flourescent orange, and we never thought it would disappear.

Wow; I'd like to witness that; sorry, pally, you're not flyin anywhere today.

Anyone here used the gobbler guillotine with succes yet? I've got one but never had a chance to use it.

they flop quite a bit, but they don't run off either. Those Guillotines look like a deadly broadhead. I've seen them in action on TV. Really effective.

Ive taken them to the field for the last two years but havent gotten a shot yet. A friend of mine uses them religously with high success. Using a Double Bull you can draw and kill em as close as your heart can stand it.

Same boat here, I have a bunch of them but haven't been able to get a turkey in close enough with my bow to use them. There's always next year
