Rubber blunts

[Bob B.]

I jsut ordered 3 buny buster blunts for my woodies.  I will use them for just messing around, shooting targets in the yard, stumping etc.  Any opions on them.  Do they allow a wood arrow to connect with hard objects with a bit of a cusion?

I have used the rubber blunts with success for years even for rabbits and squirrels when opportunity knocked. They always seemed  good on the arrows I was using and hardly ever caused  damaged to them. I prefer them over other types.

Don't expect them to be "shock" absorbing Bob. I broke an arrow in half even though it was mounted with a bunny blaster. Also, I buried one deep into a McKenzie block target for field points and broad-heads. Thought it would bounce off, however it sunk right in! Pulled the arrow out and the BB stayed in !!

They will sink into a "soft" target. I've busted a few arrows on stumps I didn't think were that solid.

They work pretty good on rabits and squirrels. So far this spring I've killed a couple squirrels and 2 small ground hogs with rubber blunts.

I would not like to be on the receiving end of one shot at me.

Great info, thanks fellas.

I have had good luck with ash arrows for hitting stumps,even with rubber blunts.Though they can still get broken but are tougher then POC in my experience.

When I started shooting a lot of wood arrows with my longbow, I made several with blunts for our morning roving shoots.  After replacing them several times, I decided that carbon blunts were more practical, and I saved the wooden arrows for softer targets.

I have used them for rabbits for years and love them.  I think they do add some cushion but they certainly don't make your shaft break proof.

I ordered the Bunny Busters earlier this year and love them thus far.They are superior to the traditional rubber blunts IMO because the surface area isn't as wide (the old ones look like something Green Arrow would have kept in his quiver to knock out bad guys) and they are harder.

I don't care for them for stumping.  They skip and run to much for me.  I think they would be awesome on small game as long as you hit your target.  Hard to beat a foot shaft with a judo on it for stumping, at least in my opinion.

Shot a squirrel the other day with one and they pack a powerful punch. They also are good for stumping because they won't bury up in the grass. The only thing I don't like is they have to be straightened out after shots. I'm going to try a screw in type next.

I like to use them to shoot plastic bottles off of a box or target. I still have not found a remove them from the arrow though.
