pheasant hunting

Those would be ideal, but at around 9.00 each it's a little pricey to shoot pheasants and other small game. The concept is good though. You could belt sand the edges of some of your older broadheads to get the same effect. Good job freefeet !

I just dull the edges and point of 1.5" magnus, I have only managed to kill one pheseant in the air and the arrow blew through him.So far my lab has not complained about using the broadhead.

I have used glue on blunts and old shell casings with great success on pheasants and chuckars. A friend of mine, fellow Trad Ganger "Hardened Barbed" and myself and two other friends hunted pheasants and chuckars on a game presreve with traditional equipment, with awesome results! The people that owned the preserve thought we were crazy. They changed their minds when we came back at the end of the day. We had a 100% kill ratio with the blunts on birds that were hit. We were informed not to use any type of broadheads because of the dogs. Turned out good for us. Throw some blunts on your flu-flu's and give it a try!

Sounds like a plan James. doing a little bunny hunting this weekend, try it on the bunnies first.

I have video of a blunt bouncing off the wing butt of a bird in flight.  If that shot had been made with any sort of point that would have grabbed a hold of the wing butt muscle that bird would have dropped from the sky.

I've used the old "Tiger Claw" small game head with good success. The dog handler didn't object and we had no issues with retrieval. I believe they can now be purchased through 3River under the name of "Barta" small game heads. These Tiger Claws have a pretty good track record on small game going back many years, not sure why more people aren't using them today.

They are called something different now but they only run two bucks a piece. 3Rivers (a sponsor of this site ) has them here:
