I got some 175gr "Hammers" from 3Rivers Archery and really like how they fly.

I'll second the hammers!

I love the g 5 when I shot with training wheels. But don't know if the make them heavy enough for trad worth looking into.

I like the Ace hex Blunts.  Great head, very tough, hard hitting and reasonably priced.

Went out hog hunting Thursday...No hog but had a blast shooting ground squirrels (their are millions this year). I started with blunts but these little holes diggers are so tough they would still escape down the hole with anything less than head shots. I switched and sacrificed a couple of broad heads so I could pin them down. That did the trick

Best small game head I have found is take 5/16 bludgeon slip-on, heat it in a cup of water for 1 minute in the microwave and push it on an 11/32 blunt.  It weighs 190 grains and will bounce off anything softer than a rock.  You can use a 100 grain blunt if you want it closer to 160gr.  I have even cut down 125gr field points and then cut the bludgeon in half to make a 125-135gr head.  The bludgeon doesn't have as much surface area to hold when you cut them down very far, so I am experimenting using a little JB Weld.

My daughter just returned from Montana where the ground squirrels were "thick" this year and she had a blast!  In fact she wanted to stay a couple more days the action was so good.  

She started out using the new 150 gr TALON heads - sharpened up - and unless she made a head shot, like C-500 mentioned in his message above, the tough ground squirrels would be able to escape since the 32# bow she was using just didn't put the hurt on them.

Anyhow, applying some corrective action in the form of sharp 2-blade Zwickey DELTA broadheads, the ground squirrels were finally at her mercy.

She is going back in a couple of weeks with her 42# bow and give the TALONs another opportunity, but she already has her back-up Zwickeys sharpened up and in the quiver.

I still have not had the opporunity to use the TALON on small game yet, but it sure seems like it would be a great small game point.

Hopefully, I will be able to provide an update in the near future.

Shoot straight, Shinken

HTM rubber blunt over a .357 shell case.= 188 grain "wrecking balls"! The .357 fits perfectly over an 11/32" shaft.

[mcgroundstalker]

Ace Hex Heads for me.

[barredfeather]

For small game on the ground I use Bodkin broadheads.

[Jeremy]

hex heads for me.

[ChrisM]

Judo for me its unlosable and makes a mess of rabbits and squirrells.

[Mike Vines]

Either Ace Hex Heads, or a .38 special casing

[Jason R. Wesbrock]

Definately Ace Hex Heads!

[Owlmagnet]

I employ my longbow to control pigeons in and around my barn.  I've used glue-on Judo Heads, generic steel blunts, and Ace Hex Heads.  The 160 grain Ace Hex Heads have proven to be the most effective in this application.  I've gone to broad heads for virtually all other small game.  (NO broadheads in the barn!)

The Talons I got from Redfeather Archery are AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[Ceb]

The Ace Hex head for me too!
