i go stumping often and i'm still looking for the holy grail of a stumping head! just started using regular filed points with Muzzy Grasshoppers which fly GREAT however at $12 for 3 i still tend to break them enough where it is not cost efficient. was wondering if you could use a washer of some sort like a grasshopper?? also use the small game head "the Hammer" which also works great but have broke (lost) one of them when my carbon hit a rock and looked like a claymore explosion! will brake down and by some 200 grain Ace hex heads next. i need a head of at least 200 grains to get good flight from my set up. any suggestions???

Traditional Bowhunter Magazine had a stumping head build in I believe the March edition. Worth checking out.

I just use good old 125-grain Judo points or blunt field points. Both work very well for me. Right up until they hit rocks....
I guess that doesn't help you though. Could you take a .38 shell casing and add enough solder to bring it to the weight you need. I did have one buddy who placed .38 cases on the end of wooden arrows and punched 2 nails through at perpendicular angles. They were OK and they didn't bury. Hell on squirrels too.

Ace Hex, or even those cheap round steel blunts.

Love stump shooting, by the way. Did a bit this afternoon.

I have always used field points or old Zwickey deltas.

Judos mostly for me, I save moola because I rarely lose 'em. I also shoot the big rubber blunts in the rocks up in the mountains, they even worked on a big Dusky grouse with a head shot...I'm not sure what they weigh, but they're heavy.

The best I have used are the Judos.Get 75 gr Woody Weights to bring them up to the weight you need.

Rubber blunds ang judo on wood fir stafts , personaly it is the reason that all I shoot is wood.
I make my shafts simple ,a few coats of poly,flethes , nock and point.
I want to fling an arrow on any whim without being concerned about cost or labor.

Hey Ken! Why not try a glue on Judo with a steel broadhead adapter inside... Works for me...
