Im planning to go on pheasant hunt and wandering what would be the best point use i have been looking at Zwickey Judo,Barta Blunt ,Mangus Blunt.I have read that some people use broadheads on certain types of grouse.Thanks for any advise

Having killed a number of pheasants with the bow, I will tell you that nothing puts them down like a broadhead.
Many will worry about injuring dogs and I guess that's a possibility if you are hunting with them.
That's the owner/handler's call.
In my experience, using a small two blade broadhead, most shots were pass through and no threat to the dogs we hunted with.
Snuffers on flu flus.
Use a broadhead with one of those scorpions behind it.
I used a barta blunt to kill a pheasant and it did quite a number on him.-Scott
Broadheads, 2 blade on Flu-Flus!
I hunt with other guy's dogs...I use a field point with a zwickey scorpio behind it. HAve not lost any birds. In the past while experimenting on heads. I have had judos and ace hex blunts bounce off birds. Broadheads would be great, but shooting them into the air at flying birds and having the possiblity of a dog getting hurt with it on the retreive are not worth it to me.
Check out the new TBM, a pretty cool idea in there about heads for pheasant. I hunt with my Brit, so I would be hesitant to use BHs. I am thinking of trying some magnus blunts, judos, and maybe even some of those new SGH from g5.
