Best stump'n arrows

[MichiganMike08]

Hello everyone. The great people at Jay's hooked me up with a different bow when I went there a few days ago and it has really improved all aspects of my shooting. I dropped from 61# @ 28 to 56# @ 28 ( I draw 29")and I am hitting nocks left, right and center. So I decided today since it was beautiful out I would go stump'n. It my new favorite form of shooting. The only thing is I broke two arrows(Beman mfx 400/judo). One snapped part of the way through when I pulled it straight out of a log and one broke in two after I shot a beer can. I didn't hit any rocks or hard objects. I have two arrows left and would like advice on which shaft to purchase next.

I like my woodies!  POC works great, cheaper per shaft than carbons.  Sure, they'll break, but so will everything else out there.  Plus they smell good when they do break!

Buy some Heritage 250s and play with point weight until ya get perfect flight and than foot them with aluminum(glue a 1.5" piece on the point end with 24hr. epoxy) they become pretty much indestructable that way. Shawn

wapiti archery sells cedars for stumping

[Deadbolt]

Everything will break one way or another...So far I've gone out a few times and broke 3 cedars (1 was shot by my brother) bent up a 2016 when I nailed a golf ball from an elevated stand, and today I shot one of my brothers carbons with my new blunt tips and shattered it to pieces.

I'm thinking of picking up some carbons just for stump shooting b/c we are pretty ruff but you may want to think of investing in some good rubber blunt tips or some hex heads.  I have noticed my 2016s get less banged up with the ace hex heads rather then judos and field points and rubber blunts though they dont penetrate unless its a really rotted out log really absorb alot of the shot and you dont break or damage the arrows as bad.

i also just ordered some cedars from wapiti for 3Ds and stumpin

I have less damage with the hex heads as well. I use glue-ons with ash shafts and screw-ins for 'loonyums. Maybe I am getting wiser about choosing the targets, but I think the heads' shape doesn't stress the shaft just behind the taper, which is where my arrows were accustomed to break.

the ones you borrow from your shootin' buddy!

I use what, I hunt with, 2016 aluminums.  I use Ace Hex Heads, and, I don't break or bend them up very often at all.  If, I ruin 3 per year that's a lot, and I stump at least twice per week.  You really need to be smart about what you shoot at.......

Sometimes the fun stuff isn't the soft stuff LOL

I use 2016's which is my regular arrow. I just use a steel blunt with a .38 casing over top. Many times I eventually end up pounding the insert right down into the arrow shaft if I hit too many hard targets. I try to pick rotten stumps, but ya can't always tell.

[bayoulongbowman]

Cut the pointer end of field tip , put 357 casing over it ...or 38 ...makes great blunt...on woodies use a wingnut with screed in a dab super glue...

The toughest arrow I've found is like Shawn said....a well tuned footed carbon....

But sometimes the hard stuff isn't much fun....  Something like that LOL.

try some ash shafts much stronger than carbon or aluminum with bunny buster blunts or bludgeons.
