Whats your favorite blunt tip?

[pockets]

I mainly use 5/16" wood shafts with:
Judo
Ace Hex
.327 Federal Magnum cartridges (with a lead .31 ball squashed inside for weight).

Finger,  My OWN personal experience is that the hex and Hammer(type) have cupped faces with sharper edges that tend to catch more material and stop the head quicker in dense material like a stump or even mud. The standard blunt... not so much.  They deflect and zing under and around.

I also find ( again, my own experience) that the wider heads, although they may grab more than the Hex heads, they also have this aggravating tendency to catch hard stuff, like rocks, posts, hard trees, etc on one of their edges, which ( again.. for me) results in enough side torque to break the arrow right behind the head, losing the head to the woods.

I use hex heads or, for skwerls, I make and use nutters, which is cheaper, works OK and, well, it is something I make instead of buy.

I kind of forgot about the Ace Hex heads. I like them on woodies. They aren't quite as tough as the Hammers, but they do work pretty well. They catch on stuff fairly well, but not as well as judos or G5s. As far as Judos being expensive, that's kind of relative. I've never been able to lose one and I've pounded rocks hard enough to shatter carbons and bend aluminum shafts without doing noticeable damage to the Judo. In fact, just yesterday, I was stumping and accidentally made solid contact with a rock. My carbon shaft snapped off behind the aluminum footing, the nock was nowhere to be found, but the Judo was good as new! I'm not sure how many other heads would withstand the punishment a Judo will take, not to mention its unsurpassed ability to NOT bury in the grass.

The cartridge cases are cheap, but they tend to have a nasty habit of sneaking under the grass in my experience. That's why I went with the hex blunts on woodies. I still love shooting woodies, but right now I have way too many projects to have time to make them. Carbons are just too much faster.

Ace Hex heads for me.  Tough and come in a variety of weights.  Never lost one.

VPA  Thumpers

Another vote for Hex Heads.  those are one well designed, tough, hard hitting head.  Love having a few of them in the quiver for grouse and ptarmigan.

That said however, I always a couple dozen "thumpers" made up with .38 casings brought up to weight with some split shot.

VPA for the wide range of weights but I like the spring arm types in places with heavy grass. There are some really economical extruded plastic ones I use that have little plastic arms that work really well but the little arms break off kind of easy but they cost less than a buck a piece and still work without the arms really well but don't grab onto the grass anymore. VPA are definitely the best quality and overall the best performance and work the best in the most types of situations!

For screw in points, I like The Forge Converta Blunt that 3 Rivers sells. I combine it with a 125gn field tip to get the 200 grains up front that I shoot the majority of the time.

I'll second the Ace Hex Heads.  I've been shooting them for several years and they work very well for both stumping and small game.  Hit harder and don't slide under stuff as bad as a plain blunt.  There's one in my quiver now.

Ace hex head for sure. Works great. Hits hard. Just spent an hour stump shooting, actually, small plastic drink bottles tossed on open range not stumps, with my bud. Great fun and you would be surprised how well the little root beer bottles with screw on tops attached held up. Highly recommend the Ace Hex head.

Hadn't seen those before, they do look pretty slick!
