Magnus Bullhead or modified blunt on flu-flu arrows so they don't fly to the next County.

Depends on the bird! I don't know what Tim uses, but I prefer a head like the snaro for small birds like doves. For larger birds like pheasants, geese, and such, I would prefer broadheads. If dogs are being used, broadheads become problematic, so I just use field points. On the big birds, I feel it is important to get the arrow stuck in the bird so it has to come down to the ground!

I just watched his dove hunting video and to quote him directly "I'm using the Bullhead by Magnus and rubber blunts with 2" wires attached."

Depends on size and feathers.
Doves, grouse dont need much.
Pheasants , broadhead with flu flu (of not using a dog)

Geese, bring a shotgun  ;)

There used to be a company Clark Broadheads that had some really neat pheasant, bird and frog points. The pheasant point had a circular disc with three long wires and three pegs with a 6" arrow extension and a broadhead on the end. It would penetrate the pheasant with the broadhead or break a wing with the wires.
