I shot Zwickey heads with the spring arms for years and they worked ok.But on a wim I ordered "The Hammer" heads to give them a try, WOW!
I have the 125 glue in heads with a 100 grain steel insert on a 340,for a total of 615 grains out of a 66# bow. My arrows really thump, and this head holds up! I figure I got over 250 shots on one before the arrow broke and the head looks great!
I have no stake in the product, just thought I would pass along
-
I also shoot "The Hammer". Really like it alot. I shoot 200g screw in on 2018's. They fly well and seem to be really tough. Hopefully, I will be able to connect on a tree rat sometime so I can see what they do on live game. I have shot judos and ace hex heads in the past, but to me they don't compare to the hammer.

I have been shooting those too.Aside from the design,I really like the fact that they come in a wide variety of sizes.
-
I have been using the Hammer also on my fluflu's. Great heads for rabbit and squirell,and don't bury when hitting the ground if you miss.
-
Another Hammer user. If you buy the heaviest ones, make sure they are screwed down tight before each shot.
If there is any play, they will snap off with the thredded portion stuck in your arrow! They are really wide which gives them some leverage to snap.
Since I have been screwing them down tight with every shot, I have been OK.
-
The Hammers are great and probably the best overall, but I also like the Ace hex heads and judo points. They all work well and each of them will work better for specific conditions.

Hammers first, then Ace Hexheads.
-
Nothing like a good ol' Judopoint for me! I shot in a lot of mossy terrain, and sometimes even Jodus bury under.. But far less then any other point :)
-
For stumpin' ya can't beat the good old Judo Head! Then again I'll use Hammer Heads matching my broadhead weight for small game and such right before deer season. Don't ask me to choose the "best one". Kinda dig Ace Hex Heads too! They are all good. IMHO

Judo all the way for me.
Do like hammers and hex for small game on occasion.
-
Judo for me.
-
Judo for me, too, but I haven't tried a Hammer.
-
I like the hammer heads and the hex heads equally. I actually use the hex as my target head too. Yes on regular purchased targets.
I don't like the judo heads. They say the are indestructible, but I can trash them fairly quickly.
-
I have always had luck with the good old judo
-
I use a regular old blunt on the surewood shafts I use with my Hill. I shoot a lot in the woods and found that the Judos snagged limbs and twigs. I do have to be a little more careful in my target choices, though. The blunts are definitely easier to lose.
-
I really like the SGT head for stumpin and small game. I shoot the 250 grain screw in. I also use the rest, but have been impressed with the SGT thus far.

judos on 23\\64th cedars spiral fletched flu-flus and ace heads also on 23/64th cedars sheild cut fletched.all made by suzanne st.charles.she makes some nice arrows.
-
I shoot a Talon :)
I recently slid a Zwickey Scorpio behind one for shooting in the neighbors field. Unbreakable with a cutting edge meets unloseable. Good combo for stumping.

I really like bunny busters and ace hex blunts.
-
The absolute best stumping head I have used is I take a 5/16, 65gr, slip-on bludeon, heat in boiling water, and push it on an 11/32, 125gr steel blunt. It makes an extremely tough blunt that will help your arrow survive the hardest impacts. I have modified the bludeon and steel points to make them all the way down to 125gr.
-
SGT's for me BRUTAL on bunnys and squirrels, using the 225 gr screw-ins, have shot hex, hammers, and judos, like these SGT's the best so far.
-
I use a combination of judos and screw in rubber blunts.
Shoot the judos if there is any chance of losing it in the grass or brush.
Shoot the blunts into dirt banks and rotten logs and stumps.

Ace Hex Heads.

Hex heads and Judos.Haven't tries Hammers but will at some point.
-
Tried the Hammer and had several break, so I went back to the tried and true judos. I have judos that have been shot many, many times that just keep on keepin' on.
-
I like hammerheads, but got the (not so) bright idea to make some tip over targets out of 2by4's with a 6" by 6" plywood base, they break my trad lights with hammerheads like crazy, must be the twisting action when the target tips. So don't repeat my mistake! I avoid shooting them at targets that might twist or tip. I mostly use the plastic blunts form 3 rivers for pure stumping, they stop really well in grass and brush, as well as judos, and I've never broken an arrow using them on anything, even the accidental rock.
-
Hmmm, I just use the good ol' regular steel blunt. Surprised more don't use them.
-
I like hex heads.
-
Another vote for the Hammers. I used to shoot the G5 SGH, but the blades kept breaking off. Hammers are much tougher.
-
I have never tried the Hammers but I guess that I will now.
My favorites from way back are judos for roving and slip on rubber blunts over metal blunts for grouse and snowshoes (they get through brush much better than judos).
I shoot heavy poundages and heavy arrows so the smaller diameter metal heads have a tendency to make my arrows disappear!
-
For all around roving the judo as it is hard to lose and it hold up very well. The hammers and hex heads are good but in grass and heavy leaves can be lost fairly easy! Shawn
-
Ace Hex. It busts a hole through the termite mounds wider than the 23/64th shaft, which preserves it.
-
The Judos seem to bend and break in my part of Australia, plus they don't come in my glue-on broadhead weights. I have never lost an Ace Hex blunt except in swampy reeds.
-
judos work well for me
-
I make my own and they work great for me.

Hey Shawn, I bought a couple of the Zwickey Scorpios to put behind a Talon for the same reason. You might want to try them with your Hammers. I like that they slide up the shaft as that doesn't keep the arrow from penetrating what you want it to when you make a hit.
