This episode looks a different styles of Small Game heads one can use in Bowhunting. I do apologizes for some of the wind noise we did our best to remove most of it.
I found this extremely informative, subscribed. Enjoyed the way you articulate the thoughts and most importantly had no idea about the field points. Thank you so much for the knowledge
Judo points are indispensable for preventing lost arrows when roving, and I did kill a grouse with one last year, but the steel blunt is far more effective on small game, especially if shooting into or through thick brush, which is the norm around here. Also they are much easier to carry in pretty much any style of quiver.
Nice video! Just picked up a recurve with the ultimate intent of small game hunting, and have been practicing and soaking up info like a maniac, so this was an instant subscribe for me!
I use a crossbow for my archery, and also for taking out small pest animals sometimes. Speaking in terms of "Traditional" heads, I like the "hammer" type blunts. Those work really, really well. The "Bludgeon" type, which is hard plastic with little spikes, does work too. If we're talking modern, the G5 small game head or the Easton V3 are excellent, but..... I like the traditional hammer tips best. I dunno why, they just feel "right" to me. Modern crossbow, carbon shafts, but I always come back to 2 blade cut on contacts, blunts, and other traditional style heads. They just work.
I agree the Hammer style Blunts are much like the Ace head blunt and work AWESOME. Thank you for watching and we hope you found some useful information. Thanks for writing in. Rob
Thank You!! We hope you continue to enjoy our episodes!! please drop us a line and let us know what you think as we are trying to improve what we bring. and YES that means me figuring out how to see this stuff sooner so I can respond quicker!!!
that,s Awesome with you getting pass throughs!! unfortunately that has not been my experience, would love to talk with you about poundage and arrow set up you shoot. We have gotten some of those 3 blade style heads in the shop and look forward to trying them out this fall.. Thank you for watching.
@@TradionalTipsTrips I'm shooting a 70# infinite edge and 300 spine black eagle zombie slayers. Not a traditional bow but I was getting pass throughs on gophers amd rabbits when I was down at 35bs. I love the judos and g5 sgh for rabbits because is gives me some margin of error when I get head shots
Great tutorial, still, what would you use then to have enough penetration without having the arrow pass through the animal? Would a 2 blade broadhead in combination with the wires of judo point make sense?
The Star Style that go on behind the Field points work well although they don's seam to hold up very well. As far as washers behind the field points I put in the same category as a Judo point. Can the field tip and washer work? Yes, but still feel you will run into the same issue as a Judo with stopping penetration. Head shot, NO Problem but feel you could have issues with other hits.
We apologizes as we thought these questions had been responded to but we don't see them here. I had to look them up as I was unfamiliar with them, but they are very much like the Ace blunts and I have shot them and they work AWESOME. Thanks for the Question and again we apologize for the delay in answering. Rob
Thanks for your instructive vid. This comment is somewhat related to your photos of the animals walking around with field-pointed arrows sticking out of them. Of course, this leaves a bad taste in almost everyone's mouth. But perhaps not much more so than all the joyous outbursts from hunters that you see on youtube after they've killed a living being. This doesn't show suitable respect for the animal, IMHO, and also reflects badly on hunting. And I'm a hunter. And finally, I'm going to drill a hole in a dime or penny and place it between my field point and my arrow and investigate that as a useful point.
