Best head for pheasant?

Planning a pheasant hunt during spring break and was wondering what tips to use, will be using dogs so I do not want to use broadheads. Anyone ever used the snare type bird points?

You simply can't go wrong with an Ace Hex Heads if you are hunting over dogs. If you are hunting without dogs, I would recommend any broadhead, sharp or dull, you could get your hands on.

Snaro. Went on a bird hunt this past fall and the hunt manager says the Snaro seems to be the best head. The extra size increases your chances. I like how the hexheads fly and the RFA Talons.

I tried the snaro point, and don't care to ever shoot it again. It just seemed to cumbersome to me, and the wire loops just didn't perform like I had hoped they would.

I have done a fair bit of pheasant hunting with my bow and have tried quite a few things. No broadheads for me if dogs are involved.
I've had hex heads and judo bounce off birds. They've killed some too. Snaros just rob too much energy for me.
I've settled on just a regular field point with a zwickey scorpio on an aluminum shaft. The shaft stays in the bird and there is no bird in the world that will get away from a dog like that just in case you don't hit them in the head

I would not ever shoot a pheasant with a snaro. I have used some Hi Precision three blades that were made locally about 30 years ago. Lots of them still around. Although the metal is softer than some chewing gum, it is easy to grind the front of point off to make it squared off and blunt and intentionally dulled. Safer for the dog and instantly effective.

Best luck Ive had is using a field tip with a adder star behind it.

Best head I've ever used is a steel blunt, with two small holes drilled through near the end. Slip two small finish nails through and it makes an X. Dab of epoxy hold em. Shoot great, nails snag, and very cost effective. Took about a dozen birds with this head, learned from an old trapper in northern Maine who used to do it for grouse when he was too young to shoot a gun!
