I use mostly judos but never shoot into solid wood. always aim to grass or anything noticeable (od color leaf, piece of paper, etc.)
I will try some rubber blunts next time.

I only use judos. I shoot into alot of stumps and they hold up. You will loose some arrows shooting field points and I don't think I would do it with broadheads at all.

Judo's for me when stump shooting. I have shot a lot of solid wood and they always seem to spring back just fine. I seem to just loose arrows tipped with anything else.

Judos. I usually use the 130gr. tapered hole model w/ an adapter-gets the weight up and it flies just like my broadheads. Love'em. GBY

Another vote for judos. I have shoot them at everything in the woods and the only one I lost broke off when I hit a heavy glass jar at an odd angle.

I use Ace Hex Heads. Never know when you're going to want to shoot a stump through a bunch of grass.

I used to use judos but found they got stuck in some stumps. Switched to flat blunts and found they pulled way easier and still haven't lost one, don't seem to dive under things like a field tip. They pull out of a quiver a lot easier too. That's my 2cents. Good shooting!

I used judos for a lot of years, along with blunts. Started using the Ace Hexes last year and like them alot. They seem to blend the advantages of judos and blunts.

I use judos and blunts, giving the judos a slight edge because it's cool when you hit dead on and they stick

Ace Hex Heads. They don't bury themselves like a field point, they don't tend to skip as much as a regular blunt, and they don't get tangled in my quiver like judo points.

Me three on the Hex Heads. Those babies dig right in and stop, not to mention they'll put a wallop on just about any thing you hit with'em.

I like hex heads and judos. I have damaged less arrows with hexheads than with judos, however, the hexhead is easier to loose. So it is a trade off, just like everything else. Use what fits the situation.

Another vote for Ace Hex Heads, though I wouldn't shoot hard wood with them.
