If you have time to make them, I'd go with one of the several different home made blunts described here--made from shell casings, nuts, or wing nuts.  For a store-bought head, Ace Hex Head blunts.

I agree with Chad; a head that has a "wide" profile is best for aerial shots, it will not stick to a tree. Judos have enough of a point on them that they can and will stick in wood. Nothing worse than leaving a good arrow stuck in a tree completely out of reach.

Judo for sure, that way when i miss i can still find my arrow.

[Shawn Leonard]

I like blunt as they are cheap, and do stick in trees but not that often. As for arrows, i would not use a perfectly good one as said above. I use one that fly perfect and I make them out of ramin or other dowels from Lowes. I can make a squirrel arrow with feathers, point and nock for about $1.00. I also like bluntas a glancing or close non killing shot usually does not tear them up like the arms of a judo. Shawn

Judos.

Opinions ?  Here ?

My version of nutters is what I like to use.  I make them cheap. I fletch them with all white  or all yellow 5.5 inch shield feathers and don't worry too much about anything.  Most of them I find not so awfully far away.  A hit on a squirrel head or chest has always brought them to the ground.  

I always carry my shrew hawk though cause after a few minutes they have nearly always seemed to come back to life.  So now..I pick them up and bop them so they don't.  Works great.

Ace Hex Heads & .38 shell casings.

[George D. Stout]

The Hex heads will probably pack a good whallop, which is what you need for squirrels.  My particular favorite is old Bodkin heads with the poin snipped off and the edges dulled a bit.  They will penetrate and kill a squirrel quickly but not penetrate wood easily.

I don't use flu-flu fletching much on squirrels as it can be a detriment to penetration.  I use regular fletching and carry one or two flu-flu's for very close tree limb shots.  I use 160 grain hex heads on those flu-flus.   Most shots at squrrels are taken on the ground or on the side of a tree stump, etc.

.38 casings with banding steel, hexheads, and old broadheads for ground shots.
