The absolute best stumping head I have used is I take a 5/16, 65gr, slip-on bludeon, heat in boiling water, and push it on an 11/32, 125gr steel blunt.  It makes an extremely tough blunt that will help your arrow survive the hardest impacts.  I have modified the bludeon and steel points to make them all the way down to 125gr.

SGT's for me BRUTAL on bunnys and squirrels, using the 225 gr screw-ins, have shot hex, hammers, and judos, like these SGT's the best so far.

I use a combination of judos and screw in rubber blunts.
Shoot the judos if there is any chance of losing it in the grass or brush.
Shoot the blunts into dirt banks and rotten logs and stumps.

Tried the Hammer and had several break, so I went back to the tried and true judos. I have judos that have been shot many, many times that just keep on keepin' on.

I like hammerheads, but got the (not so) bright idea to make some tip over targets out of 2by4's with a 6" by 6" plywood base, they break my trad lights with hammerheads like crazy, must be the twisting action when the target tips. So don't repeat my mistake! I avoid shooting them at targets that might twist or tip. I mostly use the plastic blunts form 3 rivers for pure stumping, they stop really well in grass and brush, as well as judos, and I've never broken an arrow using them on anything, even the accidental rock.

Hmmm, I just use the good ol' regular steel blunt.  Surprised more don't use them.

Another vote for the Hammers.  I used to shoot the G5 SGH, but the blades kept breaking off.  Hammers are much tougher.

I have never tried the Hammers but I guess that I will now.

My favorites from way back are judos for roving and slip on rubber blunts over metal blunts for grouse and snowshoes (they get through brush much better than judos).

I shoot heavy poundages and heavy arrows so the smaller diameter metal heads have a tendency to make my arrows disappear!
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

For all around roving the judo as it is hard to lose and it hold up very well. The hammers and hex heads are good but in grass and heavy leaves can be lost fairly easy! Shawn

Ace Hex. It busts a hole through the termite mounds wider than the 23/64th shaft, which preserves it.

The Judos seem to bend and break in my part of Australia, plus they don't come in my glue-on broadhead weights. I have never lost an Ace Hex blunt except in swampy reeds.

Hey Shawn, I bought a couple of the Zwickey Scorpios to put behind a Talon for the same reason. You might want to try them with your Hammers.  I like that they slide up the shaft as that doesn't keep the arrow from penetrating what you want it to when you make a hit.
