Bow Hunting Rabbits (Small Game Head Review) 

Bruh who else thought the rabbit was standing on the fence pole lol

"cheap and nasty" - I dated her in '84.

I would think however that for squirrels you might want one of the blunt tip types so you wouldn't end up with an arrow stuck in the trunk of a tree some 25 feet up. Enjoyed seeing someone so skilled at taking cotton tails.

Enjoyed your video. Ive used all but 2 of the heads mentioned. The only disagreement I had, was the bludgeon. I keep Judos and G5's in my quiver but I always have 2 bludgeons in quick reach on my backpack when hunting elk. We have a lot of forest grouse in the Rocky Mountains where I hunt elk. Kinda like a big tasty chicken. The bludgeon is always the first to shoot. The grouse fly into the trees and we head shoot them but obviously the arrow flies right on thru and you lose your arrow. So we've start lining the grouse up with the trunk of the tree and the bludgeon goes right thru the bird and bounces off the tree trunk to the ground. Every other point ive used has stuck in the tree, so you lose your arrow again. Anyways great video, jealous of the year around hunting opportunities you guys have. Keep it up!

Nice to see an honest Aussie review.

nice video . Way back in the 1970s We glued 357 cartridge cases onto aluminum arrows . Our choices were field tips and broadheads with those star stoppers behind them .

Ruthless with your reviews, that perfect I hate having to read between the lines of what the actual review is.

Great quality video , simple and to the point ! ( No pun intended) thanks

Good one mate lots of bunnies about. The g5 small game heads are a good point for bunnies. The arms will snap or bend if you hit rocks or stumps but face it most heads will. Just hurts when they are expensive. A small heavy duty washer behind a field tip hits bunnies hard and stops them in there tracks. Good job man ;)

Totally agree, I’ve got some G5s and they are awesome.

Used the g5 for years. They are great

Thanks!!! A squirrel ran off with my zwickey judo so i bought saunders bludgeons and thankfully they shoot low bc I didn't realize how awful they were until ur vid. Just ordered some g5 sgh. Great video, much appreciated and helps us be more ethical hunters

Great video, I reckon rabbits are an underrated as a quarry. Looks great fun. Hoping give it a crack this year when visit my lad in Australia. Going bring my bow along. I love the G5 montec head so I'm not surprised the G5 small game head is so good. Nice channel. Subscribing was easy decision 😁

Epic video full of great info, thanks man.

Thanks mate might have to get some

A field point with a flat washer behind it works good for me.

Great vid guys, thanks for sharing.

#8 Robinson screw and 8-10 5/16 washers. Hillbilly Hammerheads. Penetration with crazy impact.

hey that was so useful thanks!!

I thought that one rabbit you shot at about the 7 min mark was sitting on top of the fence post. Was more curious how the fuzzy rascal got up there over the affectiveness of the head.

Enjoyed your video but reckon the VPA small game head probably deserved at least an 8 as it was effective, durable & accurate.

great review thx mate.

I noticed the same thing on bludgeons for 30 yard/meter shots. They are fat on the end and tend to act like a parachute at that range. Still like them though. Tougher than you think, don't snake under the grass, and the rubber tip helps protect the arrow. If you shoot heavier broadheads, for any of these small game heads, you can put #10 washers behind them to increase forward weight. Each washer weighs about 12 grains. I put three behind the bludgeon and it takes the 125 gr up to 160 gr.

The SGT looks like a real spinner. I'll probably buy that for the accuracy

I use the G5 SGH

Hi, this video was super informative. What bow are you using and what is the tension of the bow?

Awesome content boys 👍👍👌👌

I'm shooting 60 lb of my bow. I've had no issues with judo's. Other than they don't like to flip up when they hit the ground sometimes.

Fluffy isn’t kidding about your accent. Paawaa🤗

A very good video thank you. I do a lot of archery (recurve)- unfortunately in the country I live hunting with the bow and arrow is forbidden. Because of this we use catapults for rabbits and this kind of resembles bow hunting . Subscribed.

Thanks for this informative video. May I ask you please. Which bow compound and arrows you used. Thank you in advance!

Cheers for sharing! I remember smacking a rabbit in the head with a Bludgeon once and it ran off! dont use them anymore.. using G5 and something similar to cotton tail tumblers.

A real judo is the best imo but a big plastic blunt tip works great too. Right now im using a homemade hybrid of a muzzy small game head that has the chisel point but the wire arms broke so i replaced them with a basic adder so now i have a badass muzzy adder head. Their pretty sweet

Crazy how I had these and loved them on my first buy and here you are loving them as well. Good purchase!!

Any idea why ramcat discontinued the smoke?

I've got bludgeons. Penetrated 4-5 inches on the rabbits chest. I was really close though, maybe 30-40ft, 40lb bow.

Definitely left a like, really solid video! I did notice though that if you slow it down you can see that the bludgeon hits the ground before it hits the rabbit! Still a solid shot at 30m but makes me wonder how it would have done with a direct hit.

I just started using my bow for small game and picked up some heads at local store without doing much research. Turns out I got the G5s so guess I'm happy, haha

Hey mate see how the old flat washer trick compares to some of the big name tips?

Good stuff mate. You should set up a referral/affiliate link for each of these & chuck em in the video description.

Homemade or altered points would be a fun video.

aww rabbits are so cute. shame they taste so good

Bludgeons great for bird hunting, enough to break the bones and take them down. Plus if you drill two holes thru it and loop bailing wire you can make cheap snaro tips

Best small games heads I ever used where called VB not sure if they are still made here in Australia

One of my favorite things to do in the world is bow hunt rabbits ❤️

I use the g5 only issue is the prongs brake off otherwise excellent small game head

Последний образец впечатлил. Попробую его на утках.

If you buy rage broadheads they come with practice tips. I have had good luck with those. Can you do a video about them. I mean cant get any cheaper than free if you're already buying rage broadheads.

Awesome video and awesome review. I've used pretty much all of these and have take lots of small game with them and the same opinion. I would like to point out, that I thought maybe the bludgeon hit the ground just before the bunny?? Might have something to do with the stopping power. I've killed quite a few critters with them. Just a thought. Love the content. Good work guys.

Meh. No compromise. My fixed broadheads kill cleanly, and drop the gut sack out in one action. Less mess. Better kills. Even though they're vermin it's shit to wound and not kill cleanly. Nice breakdown man, same thoughts on judos. Off to the workshop,....

hows that SGT VPA deadly on impact when it didn't even die on the first arrow lol

There is a lot to say about this review of sgh it's a good one but a lot is wrong some what. That's a lot of bow for shooting small game. I would say if you went to a lighter bow, say 40 lbs with a compound or 50 with a stick bow , I think the review would favor the sgh different. In traditional archery the blunt heads and the judo points are king. Alot of the heads you are using were just not designed to be used with that much power and velocity; that's why they get mangled up real bad. The rabbit you shot with the first blunt hit the ground first is why it was not that effective. And you did not give them but one chance per tip not a very fair chance considering shot placement was different on each rabit.

i bet he is well known in the rabbit community .

I've tried each one myself and yeah the blunt tips suck. But you didn't review the western adder which i believe to be the best. G5s kill well too but those finger offsets break off almost any time you miss. So they are pretty pricey for what you call a single shooter. Where I live i kill tons on rock chucks and ground squirrels with the occasional jack rabbit

Who else wants part 2

Haven’t seen to many rabbits in ages

I'm a beginner to compound bow and would like to know what kind of release do you use ?

The G5 Bounced off the last rabbit I hit from 10 yards. Don't get fancy I'm more lethal with a sharp field tip

Im not old enough to hunt but I’m using the shock one I think it 4

How do you only have 299 subs I just put you at 300 btw

Good review thanks. Would be good to include prices and where you can source them.

What camo are you wearing in this video?

what bow were you using

GREAT VIDD THE BEST HERE FROM AMERICA !!!!!!! I GOT G 5 AND ALOT OF THR OTHERS BUT CANT FIND RAM CAT I WANT TO GET THE RAM CAT !!!!!!!!!!!! BUT CANT FIND IT !!!!

A lot of these heads like the judo are meant for recurve, the velocity on a compound is just to high and will shred your heads

WHERE DID U GET THE RAMCAT BROADHEAD ???

I have shoot 3 rabbits with vmaxx they work for me and don't break and I'm shooting 60lb

where are you shooting ?

the number2 tip hit the ground first and deflected into the rabbit , thats why it didnt work well

Hey mate where can you buy the ramcats in aus online?

The real deal Judo Heads made by Zwickey are miles ahead of the fake judos made by other brands

What bow do u use ?

do you know what the prongs on the Judo are for?

I'm surprised at the results of the Bludgeon - I shot a rabbit with a one of these last week and had a pass through at 20m. It hit the bunny in the neck and was an instant kill. I found the arrow about 30m away. This is using 65lb draw weight / 292gn arrow.

Personally I shoot the Bludgeons, Killed bout 10 rabbits with em and haven't lost any. Devastating heads. That being said though, I only shoot for the head on small game. Insta kill and no meat loss. I have also used the g5's but preferred bludgeon, can't remember why, which probably means I should test em again.

#2 bludgeon looked like it hit the ground first and fired from 30m, it would have lost a lot of grunt

I don't suppose one would use good arrows on small game ?

That blunt hit the ground first and bounced up on the rabbit.

Uplifting music Rabbit: 😅

Looks like you shot low and hit the ground @ 3:22 . Those broadheads work by transferring the energy of the arrow into the animal. Wont work if the energy is transfered to the ground then the animal.

I'm new to archery so this certainly a dumb question: do you use a range finder before every shot or just go off of a general estimation? Been hunting birds and big game with firearms my whole life but just inherited a Hoyt from a family member. I'm interested in joining the bow-hunting gang but do not know where to start...

90gran filed tip and a washer

Came here to find out what the judo heads do, and it seems they do exactly what they look like they do. Would threading fishing wire through those small springs at least keep them together for reassembly? Or do they fail so catastrophically that they can't go back together?

The whole idea of a bludgeoning tip is to not put a hole in itso you can harvest the hide and not have holes in it

Where you that their are so many rabbits, man Id picking them off and filling the freezer

On .25 speed play back rate it looks like you just missed on #2. Looks like shot was low.

Feeld points

Bow name please

You hit the dirt in front of the rabbit with the bludgeon tip..

Maybe try these again against a ballistic gel block , so you can slow motion capture the power of the hit and close up

Can i kill a rabbit with a metal washer behind a field tip? Or is that inhumane

I shot a rabbit with a bludgeon at night and it went right through the gut and couldn’t find it and got crap on my artow

Cotton tail tumblers suck. Weak as piss.g5 prongs break off easy.I just use a kyuga for everything.

I use g5 hunting raccoons and they e broke on me

absolute POS, I'll never use it again, 6/10

If you hit a tree or a rock with any head your gonna break something

I reckon for what you paid for your gear you'd get a good start on some orthodontics .

That’s harsh! Your just going around testing arrow tips just for rabbits on live animals and your probably not even eating them

Number 5, deadly accurate?, so why did you shoot the rabbit up it's arse??......

Shooting a 340 grain arrow from a 70# bow….. what a joke. Should be shooting at least double that weight arrow. No wonder the bludgeon didn’t kill.
