What points fo you use for birds? I am concerned about my dog getting stuck by a broadhead that may be lodged in a pheasant-(assuming I hit one). Has anyone tried thos snaro points?

Dan, I was in the same predicament a few weeks ago here's a link to that thread (http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=050374) I went with the field points and a scorpio behind that, sorry to say I didn't connect with any birds !["[dntthnk]"]("graemlins/dntthnk.gif" "\"\"")
good luck!

Don't use the snaros, they are heavy and slow moving and most of the time they just "push" birds in flight. I have trained my Britt. to be steady to wing and shot so I don't have a problem with using sharp heads. If your dog is not, then you need a partner to put her on a leash after she goes on point. If you get the current issue of TBM you will see the actual head I like to use for pheasant.
