Hi guys,
Still kinda new to the stick and strang world and am very excited to go stumping with the snow starts to decline and I am able to make it into the woods.
Question I have is what kinds of points do you guys like to use? Just field tips, blunts, judos, or out of the box stuff?
Thanks
-
If its just purely for Stumping then the Old Judo is a great point but if you may be also chasing a bit of small game then I would suggest something like Ace Hex heads or SGH. Much better for taking small game and pretty good as a stumping head as well.
-
I use rubber blunts. They don't get stuck in the stumps & they bounce so it's easier to find the arrows on missed shots. (or so ice heard) :laughing:
-
Rubber blunts are great ,field tips,flat head blunts,but judos always break the little tines and cant stand spending the money on them for shooten stumps.Even a 38cal shell casing will work for stumps.
-
Ace Hex are my favourite, followed by the plain-Jane steel round blunts. I'm not that keen on Judos, as they bend to easily. Our stumps are pretty tough, though.
-
What Ben said .
-
I've always used Judos without any problems. I guess I'm just particular on which stumps I shoot because I've yet to tear a Judo up.
-
Judos or homemade judos. You can find them in the archives. Virtually unloseable.
-
I like Judo's but can't et them out of a back quiver very easily ! Blunts for me ...
-
I shot Judos for for years.
Last year I bougt some heads called "The Hammer" from 3 rivers last year and I am hooked.
They are cheaper than judos and don't bend or get tore up. I shoot the 145's out of my 60# bow 500 grain arrows and the 200's out of a 66# bow with 610 grain arrow.
-
A judo is great around grass or leaves and will keep you arrow from burying. I've used the same two for 35+ years and they still are working. For shooting into actual stumps I'll use a blunt. So I carry both.
-
I carry both and arrows im not in love with also :)
-
Plain cylindrical blunts mostly. I like the Ace Hex and the best multi-purpose blunt/small-game/stump head I have is the PDP GameNabber. Lots cheaper than a Judo.

Stumpkiller,,,, those are cool... havent seen those.. are they "new"?
-
Plain old steel blunts is all I use any more. Easy out of the back quiver and cheaper than about anything else.
-
Rubber Blunts are my favorite,I have also used judos they also work great.
-
i use field tips for the most part and g5 SGH for shoots idk if ill make cause if i miss the claws stop it.
im going to buy some rubber blunts and VPA small game heads to try out
-
I had the same 2 judo's for longer than I can remember. Just recently bought a couple new ones. They are very tough and they don't bury up like other heads. JMHO! Jason
-
Thanks guys I appreciate all of the input. Sounds like the first time I head out I am gonna have a mixed bag of tips. I already have a lot of judos that I got in an auction but sounds like I am gonna pick up some blunt tips and other stuff to try.
-
I have found that judos are terrible for most stump shooting, they bury themselves and then the grass catcher bends and actually makes removal more difficult. I am going to try the metal blunts mentioned

Nope. Three Rivers had them 10 years ago - but I don't think it was as "PDP". Like the Barta Blunt (TigerClaw) and the Martin Skipper Stopper, etc. They resurface under different names. The tooling must change hands.
Here's my bunny & stumping arsenal (except the last three to the right unless it's a really soft stump).

I also launch every broadhead equipped arrow I hunt with at least once into a stump to check for flight issues. The Modoc in the image is a design that failed. The long head has enough leverage to pull itself off the ferrule or bend at the tip; so they went to small-game use only. Magnus IIs and Ribteks shrug off stumps - and that gives me confidence they'll handle at least some bone.
-
I primarily use Ace Hex blunts along with an occasional Judo.

I had the same question a little while ago...got a lot of similar feedback as you are now. Either way, I thought the thread might help you. There might be some different heads posted from whats on this thread. Here it is...
