Glue on 160gr small game heads?

[Soonerlongbow]

Anybody know of any? Hunting partner has finally made the switch and is stepping all in and going cedar shafts. The one thing he cannot locate has been 160gr small game heads.

[Terry Green]

Use broadheads.  I've tried several different 'small game' heads, and nothing I have found beat broadheads.

Ace hex blunts come in 160. I use a lot of them

I second Terry's suggestion to use broadheads.  I have quite a few different small game heads and enjoy shooting them but I've found that, when actually hunting, broadheads do a better job.

Ace hex heads. By far my favourite stumping/grouse head

This is from 2005...its on the How To forum ....


WW Modifieds....small gamers.

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.

[Terry Green]

So, after that trip that's all I've used for small game.....but in a pinch and the right scenario I just pull out my Zwickey JUDO.


There was a guy that was a Sponsor for a while that made some very unique heads.....I'm glad I got a bunch befor he quit making them.....i killed a bunch of boring bumblebee bees with them at my grandfather's.

X2 on the 160 grain Ace Hex blunts, I use them a lot and really like them. They work well on rabbits with head or shoulder/chest shots, and don't seem to skip or bury much when stumping either. Good blunt I reckon.

But those who recommend broadheads also right, broadheads work extremely well on small game too. But I won't use a broadhead when I've got my dog (a Blue Heeler) with me. When I hit a rabbit, she is onto it like a shot, and the thought of that happening with a broadhead in the bunny gives me the heeby-jeebys.

So, if your mate don't want to use a broadhead, and wants a good glue on blunt, I'd heartily recommend the afor mentioned Hex Blunt.

I think the combo of the Hex and regular/modified broadheads sounds like the ticket. I’ll pass it along. He’s a member here but rarely posts or is on.  Actually he had been gone so long he didn’t know his username or anything and created a new account.

[Terry Green]

Yes....dogs are a concern....IFyou use them.

Most of my broadhead shot on rabbits PIN them si dogs are irrelevant.......

But do use caution with  dogs....

[trad_bowhunter1965]

I use Zwickey judo points and add lead weight also use Hammer heads you can get them 160gr and PDP'5' Game Nabber points Grizzly broadhead 160gr. This what is in my Quiver.

Here are some heads I made up for rabbits out of old broadheads. The important thing is to keep the head in the rabbit so they can't get to a hole.

[Terry Green]

YES....Reddogge!

Beat up broadheads are the best!!!

[Eric S]

Keep the Hexheads sharp with a 1/2" drill bit and a file...they work well. I've introduced them to lots of critters from different kinds of grouse, chuckers, Jack rabbits, cottontail, squirrels, marmots, groundhogs, and others. No complaints from any of them, all died humanely.

[gvdocholiday]

I have to throw in my recommendation for Hex head as well.  As mentioned...keep them sharp.  Their design allows them to penetrate through small game with ease yet keeps them from burying in stumps or dirt.  That concave tip is also great to keep them from skipping on ice.  I haven't had to fletch with flu flus for my bunny arrows for a few years now. 

[Badlands]

Here are a few that I've picked up over the years.

Since your friend is using wooden arrows, I would suggest he get some Tophat adapters. They go on the end of the arrow and then you can use any old screw in point instead of glue on. It makes changing points soo much easier and you can build up more weight as well. The adapters are about 40 grains so with any 125 point you’ll have (close to) your 160 grain desired weight
