best heads for squirrels??

[foxbo]

You wouldn't know it unless you tried them, but the G5 Small Game Head is the deadliest head I've ever used on squirrels. I've used all sorts of small game heads in the past, some good, some not so good. The best squirrel hunt I've ever experienced was three shots and three squirrels one afternoon, all killing shots with the G5.I wish they produced a glue on version.

Magnus Small Game Heads... a steel blunt with a bleeder blade inserted. It is made in both glue on and screw in versions. It kills quickly with both blood loss and shock. My favorite. I respect them too much to stick them with field points or Judos only to chase them wounded through the woods... and I certainly wouldn't laugh at them while I video'd their suffering.

I dont hesitate to shoot these heads directly into the trunks of hardwood trees if that's where the squirrel is hanging. If they don't bounce off, they stick, but barely and can be easily removed.

I'm not a squirrel hunter, but I know several guys who are.  They all insist on some sort of cutting head.  Some will go thru over a hundred arrow a season so economy is important.  A .38 case or field/blunt point with a blade cut from banding or old saw blade is the norm.

........for me     I have killed -em with judo's , blunts (ACE) , and broadheads .  
Trick ....keep you shots under 15 yards ....Squirrel aint noth-en but a ball of muscle wrapped up in a buff-a-ler hide ! ...I'm not a big fan of head shots unless toting a 22  
another judo hits home !

Keep it close , and take the air out of-em

The RFA talon os the best all around small game head I've used. Works real good on squirrel!

After a head shot this past season with a hex blunt and flu-flu's at 10 yards, I'll be switching to some kind of bladed heads and regular fletch from now on. It sucked watching that squirrel take off and climb a giant oak. Never saw it again.

just dont use field tips alone or rubber blunts....field tips unless you hit heart or head just dont keep them down quick....rubber blunts may do some damage with broken bones and such but unless head shot I have had them run off maybe to die later.

judo points are tried and true...now I use Hex Heads so i can just use same shafting I do for big game and get similar head weights and flight characteristics.

the RFA Talon and the Magnus are also good heads from people I have talked.

I only use flu flus if shooting up in limbs in open...if against a tree or on ground...regular fletching to maintain speed....as the flu flu will slow way down past 10-15 yds and limit effectiveness against a tough animal like squirrel.

I have taken plenty with simple steel blunts and normal fletchings.  They don't penetrate the hide, but they take em down nice and quick if you hit the spine or head.  

I also have used an adder behind a field point, I prefer them to the blunts.  I had some penetration issues because I was shooting a very dense spiral flu flu 15 yards up into a tree, and by the time it got there it only stuck the 275gr field point into the squirrel.  This knocked him outta the tree, but he ran back up so I shot him again, this time in the head.  That did the trick.  The point of the story is use reasonably short (3.5'') 6 fletch fluflus with adders.  If you get full penetration with them they are devastating.  Point in case is the time I took two birds with my 6 fletch flu flus.  One was with a field point, one was with an adder.  The field point passed thu cleanly, and the bird flew off (found it later though).  The only reason I knew I hit it was the mess on the arrow.  When I nailed the next one with an adder there was a poof of feathers, the bird got knocked back 10 yards and was done before it hit the ground.  Shot placement was identical on both.  

Broadheads work really well too.
