Stumpin' heads...
« on: December 27, 2010, 08:55:00 PM »
...what do you all use? I know that there are a variation of different heads that work well, so what which one do you like best and why? Anybody use good 'ol blunts? I did notice that they're MUCH more affordable than others. Thanks!

I use judos untill the ground freezes. Frozen ground tends to snap off the spring loaded claws and bend the tip on the judo.

With frozen ground I use the rubber slip on blunts. They bounce rather than break on the frozen turf. They also leave a better hole or path in snow for retrieval.

If you tune your arrows, you will want to adjust for the different heads.

I like judos when I can get them in the weight I need. Hex heads are ok, but for stumping I like more grab and they don't have a real good claw and not a big head area in the lighter weights.  I do like them when shooting small game due to better penitration than my favorite stump heads.  Same goes for standard blunts; I only use them for bails.  The hammer heads have more grab and the VPA more yet.  Those are my all around stump heads of choice right now.  I like the big claws and large dia head of the VPA plus the fact those don't change with head weight; the back of the head just gets longer as the head gets heavier..

I like the Ace Hex and also a head called the GameNabber at half the cost (now produced by PDP - Precision Design Products).  Good for bunnies, too.

g5 sgh. its like a judo but doesnt get clogged with mud and gunk, and easy to clean. I did snap one in half on a rock, dont know if thats a testament for or against it. hopefully you dont shoot rocks purposefully..  :archer:
