Really small broadheads

Who makes small BH's? I'm looking for durable single blade BHs for small game. Something 100gr or less, possibly 5/16".

You can get MA3's in 100 grain 5/16 3 blade. they are also fairly inexpensive, so you can shoot at squirrells without agonizing over losing one. they were fairly common 20-30 years ago and are still rattling around in the bottom of many archery tackle boxes. you might be able to get some free if you ask nice. An offer of Squirrel dumplings is a nice way to ask

Zwickey still makes the Eskilite... 5/16 and 110 grains...

Magnus makes one the same dimensions...

Ace makes their Hi-Speed in 100 grains...

Probably others out there...

3 blade bodkin is my favorite small game head. Sharpen them on a one inch belt sander. They also seem to skip less underneath snow with frozen ground.Hunted rabbits and squirrels alot when i kept beagles. Used flu-flu four fletch.Although I used 38 casing with crossed nails for treed squirrels I would rather BLEED THEM THEN BLUNT EM. The bodkin was awesome on rabbits.

I'm with stillhunter on this one. Bodkins are tough and  do the job really nicely. Cheap, too!

I use to cut about a 1/4 inch or so off the tip of those bodkins. Still worked great and wouldn't skip under the grass and brush.

Sounds to me just like a Tusker Spirit.

   Tusker Broadheads at Braveheart Archery

Nice thing about the Spirits is they are just as tough as the rest of the Tuskers, they are just small.  Like all heads with a needle point, I recommend you put a small tanto on them though.

Definitely not stuck on 2-blade. The bodkin sounds right. Yes, I would rather bleed than blunt -I've learned that lesson.

Are they still made?
