I mushroomed another GT shaft just this morning. That's three in less than two weeks smacking into not quite rotten wood. The Hex heads are angled and act as a wedge on hard hits. That's the only flaw in them. They are by far the best grouse head I've used. Today I was looking for soft rubber blunts and I think I found them in Bearpaw slip ons mated to a light field point to give me my 175 gr.

I have collars made but would rather keep a standard shaft for both stumping and hunting and target.

I don't know how you guys are getting away with putting a rubber blunt over a field point. I tried that once and had points pushing through the blunt in only a few shots.

For general roving I use Judo's. For shooting actual stumps I use regular steel blunts or .38 casings with a #4 split shot sinker mashed into it, weighs 125gr.
