I'm looking for suggestions on where to find a good head for stump shooting; preferable one that won't get lost in the grass. I need glue on points at or near 160 gr.

The problem is that I usually shoot 160 gr heads but I can't find any good stump shooting points in that weight. I love judo's, but for glue on the bigest I can get is 135.

I've thought about trying to add weight to my judos but haven't tried it yet. Any one have any suggestions.

look at the ace hex head, 160 grain glue-on

Ace makes a 160-grain Hex Head. $9.99 for six direct from the manufacturer. They only charge about a buck or so to ship them too.

Looks like Sleepyhollow beat me to it.

I'm for the Ace Hex blunt also. I do use the Judo some though. Frank

Hex heads or Hammers for me. A lot easier to remove from the stump.

One that won't get lost...purchase some Zwicky Scorpio heads, slide them over your taper then hot melt on your 160 grain field pts. The Scorpio will act like the Judo in helping to slow down the arrow and keep from burying in the grass.

I agree with Joe on this one. I just got a couple of packs from 3 Rivers, they're cheap enough. Just haven't tried 'em yet.......
Good luck..

I just ordered the 200 hex heads though haven't shot them yet. I decided to go that route because I'll be shooting the 125 Woodsman's with 75gr. woody weights this fall, allowing me to match weights.

Cut a 12 gauge shell with #8 shot in it and using a digital scale add enough shot to get to the weight you want. Then safely discard the cut shell. The scales can be found for $20-25.

Hammer heads from 3 Rivers are great and come in heavy weights

Joe has the solution.

Hex heads.

hex heads,hammer heads and judos!! they all work great and have there place in my back quiver!!

Ian johnson · « **Reply #16 on:** March 21, 2009, 12:45:00 PM »

since I loose a lot of my heads, I started using a 38 special shell casings over an old shaft with a spiral fletch

Clay Hayes · « **Reply #17 on:** March 21, 2009, 02:26:00 PM »

i looked into the scorpios and aside from saying they're not for use on woodies, they weigh 20 gr a piece. I'd have to find 140gr field tips if I went that rout.

I've used the 357 casings and lead shot before. They work great for a blunt, but I'm looking for something that grabs a little better.

I think I'll try the hex heads. For the guys that have used them, how do they perform as compared to judos and regular steel blunts?

For me they are better than a Judo as they last and last. Short of loosing one, they are indestructable. The judos seem to always fall apart after a while.

Regular steel blunts? There's absolutely no comparison. Regular steel blunts will skip and deflect while stump shooting (and on small game too). Hex Heads grab, catch, and stop.

As a bonus, you can resharped the concave face of a Hex Head with a 1/2" drill bit. Bob Mayo told me that trick years ago and it works extremely well. You can bang them all to heck stump shooting in rocks, touch them up with a drill bit, and be ready for small game.
