Ace HEX heads for me for both small game and stumping. Durable, come in 175 gr. and, so far, haven't lost any.Met them in person at a Trad Show and they told me that there heads are guaranteed against loss.
" If you ever loose one, bring it back to them and they will replace it "

Broadheads only at game period....
From the 'How To' forum.....
I tried out some WWs with the tip severly pyramided on some bunny's at TX Sweat earlier this year, and they did real well....although I was really after hogs and javies...I didn't really go after bunnys.
So I used them again during the Littlefeather Bunny hunt last month...and I was really after bunnies so the heads got a LOT of use.
They performed very well...often pinning them to the ground, prickly pears, or mesquite trunks. Very consistant hit-recovery ratio. Best I've found OR seen for bunnys.
However, I did see room for improvement in getting them out of the back quiver....they tended to drag a bit. So I took them to the belt sander and backed them up at the turn using the guard as a jig and took off the sharp corner and flat spotted it. Made a big difference....now they just glide out.

But, that said, as much as I like the Hex Blunt, they are becoming more and more expensive to get from over there in the States, so for all my stumping and small game now, I use a home made blunt that works really well

It's simply a 160 grain field tip with a 1/4" hardened flat washer silver soldered to it. They weigh in at a fuzz over 190 grains, and have proven time and time again to be very effective, very robust, and just about un-losable. And I've shot them many 1000's of times :thumbsup:
Not everyone's cup of tea, but I like 'em :goldtooth:

For all around roving , decayed stumps (learnt after yrs of stumpology study),small critters like rabbit-squirrel CLOSE...and ease of carry I most often carry Ace hex heads.
I will also add...for just hunting small game...I do prefer using broadheads.
I've said this many a time over the years as a means to describe tree rats.....
The squirrel is ""A ball of muscle wrapped in a buffalo hide"" ! RRW....

You can also round off the point more sever than the steep pyramid in the pic. I use rounded off ones for squirrels in trees.
This pic depicts a bunny, hog n javie hunt.... the ones in the back quiver are for bunnies as in the pic on my 1st post. The back quiver is dropped at the sign of hogs or javies leaving me with my bow quiver full of real broadheads.

Here you go, Jason. 1/8 inch roll pin by 1 1/4 inches. 1 inch too short and they don't catch as well in the grass/dirt to stop them, 1 1/2 inch roll pins bend or break more often. If you shoot around rocks you'll break off a side once in a while, just tap in a new pin. I drill them on the drill press, takes longer to find the right bit, for me, in my toolbox than to make one. They REALLY thump small game, too.

So, assuming this might not be such a good idea for woodies as you re drilling into the taper...

So I'll be using the 200 grain glue-on Hex Blunts again soon :laughing:
Great blunt

The Judos tend to punch through, and the spring arms tend to drag the insides outside.... :o
3Rivers sells a J grip arrow holder that goes up into the foam of my bow quivers, and it has a little magnet in it to hold the tip of the Judo point. Carries my Judo as quiet as a mouse!! I've carried 3 broadheads and a Judo for years.
This year, it's gonna be 3 135gr Zwickey Deltas, and a 135gr Zwickey Judo... :thumbsup: :archer: :thumbsup:

Ace Hex heads or the VPA SGT's if hunting small game or most stump shooting around home here in the woods.
Rubber blunts if "stump shooting" out west in real rocky areas.
