Beastmaster,

You need to shoot some of those Rambo 2  exploding tips!!!

I have seen first hand proof that squirrels can get up a tree after being whopped with an SGT! I had to shoot him again with a broadhead to finish him. I like to use magnus or Thunderheads or whatever old BH's are lying around in my archey tackle box.

When I think of "small game" I think rabbits,squirrels,birds and for those a feild tip has always worked great for me and they are super cheap.Anything bigger then that gets a broadhead.

what if i said it was a #40 bow, im not so sure on the blunts anymore, a 40 pound bow with a bodkin aimed at a groundhog. the groundhog usually gets away, so therefor i would rather have something that cuts. i liked the idea of what some fellow said "put a washer behind it" i think that would work.
OH BOY IS THIS GREAT!

With 35 to 45 I'd insist on a big broadhead for a groundhog.Thats what I shoot is 35 to 45.
