Check out the "SGB" (small game broad head) made by G5. You can find them at just about every sporting goods store in the broad head section, $25 for a 3 pack. They're nasty and work awesome on rabbits, squirrels, you name it.

Here in the juniper scrub of Central Oregon we do not have traditional squirrels.  We have these awful burrowing ground squirrel gopher things.  Since these critters do not climb trees all shots are ground shots.  I have found the 125 grain screw in Saunders bludgeon on a cheap carbon arrows to be very durable and hard hitting.  I have hit rocks with judo points and have had the arrow shatter. Arrows with the bludgeon just bounce off rocks but kill small game fine.

have any of you tried using a 38 cal slug flung from a sling shot?          
i think it would be a fun and cheap way of getting tree rats and ya don't have to use a 38 cal slug as any old  bit of lead would do

I use a few types of points.  If it's high up a tree rubber blunts on flu flu's is the way to go.  If it's lower down or somewhere I think I might be able to find my arrow I use converta blunts stuffed with a 250gr field point I grind down to be pointier and skinny enough to slide inside the converta blunt.  The one I'm talking about is the far left in the pic.  Does more dammage than the adders and field points, and is more durable than washers.
