Where to put your stumpin arrow when hunting
« on: July 11, 2011, 05:10:00 PM »
I like to do some "stumpin" when I'm walking around but down here it's more like "cow chippin" or shootin at leaves etc so I use a Judo head.  It works great and will even handle a rabbit but I never know what to do with it when I want to take out my Broadheads.  It obviously won't stay in the foam of my bow quiver.  Suggestions?

You could use a pair of PiggyBackers and snap it onto one of the arrows in the quiver.

Yep upside down and it will stay snug.  If using screw In make sure it is tight or it will make nose during the shot.

I use a plains style quiver. The upside down thing works great on a bow quiver but is not very practical in a plains quiver. So I simply modified mine with a small rubber catcher from an old quiver and a loop for the blunt end. Works well for me.

I like the idea of flipping it around with the Fletching up but one of my concerns is having my bright fletchings showing. In fact I'm going to try a fletching cover.  I'll just try it out and see what happens.  Thanks for the feedback.

I carry (2) judos and (4) 2-blade broadheads in my Thunderhorn, both judo heads in the foam.  Just push them in deep enough so that the wires stick in the foam as well.

I've got a piggy-backer cut in half, with a hole drilled in it (perpendicular to the arrow stall, underneath the stall), and a leather lace run through it, tied around the hood of my bow quiver.  I snap my judo into one of the stalls in my bowquiver (a Selway for the time being, which has a stall facing 90° to the rest), and then to the half-piggy-backer stall on the outside of the hood.  It is very secure, and isn't going to make noise, fall out, or lose the piggy-backer.

Made this side quiver a few years back . Holds seven judoes or blunts and six broad heads. I have had all thirteen arrows out in front of me while on ground squirrel patrole.

I've always stowed mine in my bow quiver like the other arrows. Never had much of a problem.

I use a 250 grain judo so maybe it's bigger than the ones that some of you guys seems to get to stick easily into the foam?  Maybe I can cut the foam in such a way to get it further in.  I think I want to keep the fletching all on one end so that I can use the fletching cover.

Well here is possible solution.  Remember the turn signal bulbs in your car or trailer and how they have little bitty tits on the side that you have to push in and turn?  How about doing the same thing for your Judo heads.  Maybe something like a shotgun shell hull - 28 ga for example that you modified to stick your judo into and gave a quarter turn.  Drill out the foam in one part of your quiver and glue in the hull.  You might have to play with the hull a little bit to make sure everything stays in place.

Piggy backers here, just put a set on your farthest arrow in the quiver and snap your stumper to it.

250gr. Judo???


I just do as some others have said,put it in the slot furthest away. As long as the gripper is sized correctly, no problem with it holding in the quiver without flipping it over.

I usually stick a couple turkey feathers in the hood of my quivers to cover the fletch of my upside down small game/blunt/judo fletch and use a fletch cover on the others! looks kinda cool too!!!

I fletch stump arrows with oddball color feathers so they're easy to tell apart.
