if ya shoot carbons or alums, those light judo's are easy to convert to really heavy judos by using the glue-on judo head coupled with a 25 to 43 grain alum adapter or a 75, 100 or 125 grain steel adapter.  

as you can see in my judo pic above, i used an alum adapter with an epoxied on 20 grain nut to hit the head weight i was after for my daughter's longbow.

The Head Saver product that centaur recommends looks a lot like Shrink Tubing sold for covering wire connections in marine applications. It comes in various diameters and can be bought in bulk quantities, and (sometimes)in colors...check marine elctronics stores/fishery suppliers/hardware...You can also get it with a sealant inside that oozes out upon shrinking, to waterproof the joint.
I had not seen this before; in addition to its advertised use, it looks like a quick way to get some of the benefit of footings, or put over footings to help hold them in place.

I swore by judos till I tried hex heads.I prefer the hexs now only because they easier to deal with as far as carrying them.I use the big kondor judos and they don't fit into my back quiver.

I thought those big kondors were for birds or something. How big is the spread on those kondors?

2" arms, waaaaaay to big for stumping, imo.  regular judos are truly the way to go - won't snake under the turf, easily fit into most any kinda quiver, don't get lost.

3 blade 180 grain broadheads! Broadheads, broadheads and broadheads!

I don't shoot deer with judos, matter fact, I'm not real keen on shooting judos anymore. I have, not anymore.

Judos if you can afford them, but if you wanna go cheap you can use old shell casings like a .38 if your shooting wood.

Rob, just was out tonight. Shot stumps, rootballs of blown down trees and creek bank and ditches.

I was hoping for a squirrel or a coon to come along. Nothing moving! Snow squall came in when I was out. Can't figure.

I've been shootin this same 3 blade, 180 grain Thunderhead for a couple years. Not promoting them, but it has been a good stumping head, and the weight is good for my arrows.

I would say, if you folks are shootin them there snuffers and woodsmans, have at it!
 Good practice.

The woods where I do all my stumping has a bunch of ceder stumps. Them stumps are like iron and other than digging a few out Ive never broke or lost a judo. Excellant roving heads! JMO, Jason

So where can you legally stump shoot? Have a State park in town but shooting as far as I know is not permitted. However you can shoot an arrow in city limits and the park is in city limits. Go figure. So you can't hunt in the state park but you should be able to stump in the state park since you can shoot a bow in your front yard. Right?

WOW - Ssamac
 
I couldn't live there for sure....sorry. The reason for the state park probably is cause of the ppl just roaming around in there...just a guess.

Here we can't hunt in the city, but it only takes 10 minutes to be outside of it.....then it's pretty much open to wander...not much fencing within 20 miles of town at all.

From where I keep my horse I am 5 minutes on horseback and I won't see another person all day.
