Whats your favorite stump shooting device?
« on: December 05, 2011, 02:32:00 AM »
I used judo points for a long time and they are a great product, I sometimes wanted something a little softer and "easier" on my arrows. I have tried about everything out there, and i wanted something a little different. I eventually added a stump shooting specific broadhead to my line of bird hunting broadheads. We call them "stumpers"

I use what I call "the mace". It is a 200gr field point drilled through perpendicular and heave gauge wire or nails inserted through the drill holes. Looks like a mace used by knights.

I like the Ace Hex followed closely by a plain 'ol cylindrical glue-on metal blunt.  I want it to stick so I can see where it hit but be easy to pull out.

I'm shooting judos, but I do like the look of your stumpers. If I ever wear out or lose the judos, I am going to give yours a try.

I like a .38 case on the end of an arrow.  Also, I second the Ace Hex blunt.

Interesting looking heads. I'll give them a try when my last judo wears out.

I put a small washer behind the field point. Cheap, quick and easy, easily converted back to field point.

I still like judos as they are tough to lose. Where I shoot blunt and even hex heads snake under leaves and grass making them tough to find. Shawn

Judos work the best for me!  I with shoot with friends often during January through April.  Snow on the ground makes it tough sometimes to find your arrow, but we have a blast.

I think the .38 case is close to the oldest blunt out there,  They have been using them since the 30's for sure.. You can cross drill the shaft and add a finishing nail or two for added grab. Or loop some music wire in a figure eight and have a snaro.

I shot judos for years, but found they penetrated old stumps and was having trouble getting them out.  Tried the "Hammer" from 3r and have been very impressed.  I have not had any slip under grass and or leaves, and they bounce back off stumps, or stay in very sallow.  I do collar my shafts with a collar from aluminum arrows.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Another vote for the Hammer. Effective, they don't get buried, and they come in a variety of weights beyond 100 & 125 gr. And I can practically get three of them for the price of two judos.

Drop a #4 split shot sinker into a .38 special case and tap it with a punch and hammer to hold it in place. Total weight= 125grains.

I use the casings and cheap wood arrows when shooting actual stumps. I use Judo's on my alum arrows when shooting in grass.
