If you hit them in the head a rubber blunt works quite well.

I prefer broadheads for squirrels. I back them up with a scorpio. Have not lost a squirrel since going this route. Might miss the little buggers but havn't lost a wounded one in a couple of years.

Bluegrasshunter above shows a blunt with the back end flared. I do the same thing to field points, and find that works well

I use nutters and do well. BUT...I carry a Shrew hawk for the coupe-de-grace cause they will "come back to life. I like to shoot at them while they are in a tree and would really frown on flinging almost anything cept nutters at them. Once spent, I don't think a nutter arrow is gonna damage anyone who might accidentally be hit down range. That has never happened and prolly won't.....but I worry.

GingivitisKahn, Most shots are on the ground on the trunk of the tree. Of course, common sense would tell you when to not shoot. My broadheads are blunted enough that they wouldn't penetrate much, but high-tree shots call for hex blunts, etc.

George and Terry - fair enough. That makes sense to me. :-)
