Small game, stumping category choices...

[Looper]

Ok, we did a broadhead category choice, now how about a small game/stumping choice.

1.  What do you use for your general woods roving, stump-shooting, clod-busting arrows?

2.  What do you use for rabbits?

3.  What do you use for larger than rabbit-sized small game like groundhogs?

4.  What do you use for squirrels? Heads you don't mind losing.


I'll start:
1.  Zwickey Judos, on AD Hammerheads

2.  VPA Hammers 200 gr

3.  Any cheap broadhead I can find.  I add weight with lead tape around the shaft.

4.  .357 cases and some lead tape over wood shafts.

Hex for stumping, Hex for rabbits, and broadheads for bigger critters, including squirrels on the ground.  Hex for squirrels in the trees.

[Uncle Buck]

1. field points, or rubber blunts
2. to be honest, a shotgun
3. magnus broadheads
4 steel blunts, but it really doesnt matter cause I never hit them.

[JC]

1. Hammerhead weighted to 300 gr., VPA 300gr Thumper
2. See above
3. Razor sharp broadhead, preferably VPA terminator 300gr 3 blade
4. On the ground, see #1 or #3

I hope to try out the Thumper on game as soon as a season rolls around, cause they sure do make a mess of stuff stumping. I'm also looking forward to trying out my new Talons from Redfeather Archery. They look like just the ticket for an excellent combination between blunt force and cutting edges.
