I like to do some "stumpin" when I'm walking around but down here it's more like "cow chippin" or shootin at leaves etc so I use a Judo head. It works great and will even handle a rabbit but I never know what to do with it when I want to take out my Broadheads. It obviously won't stay in the foam of my bow quiver. Suggestions?
TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN AND STICK THE NOCK IN THE FOAM.
sorry about the caps, im not yelling. :knothead:
You could use a pair of PiggyBackers and snap it onto one of the arrows in the quiver.
and always put it in the furthest slot so you wont grab it by mistake if you have to make a fallow up shot
Yep upside down and it will stay snug. If using screw In make sure it is tight or it will make nose during the shot.

I use a plains style quiver. The upside down thing works great on a bow quiver but is not very practical in a plains quiver. So I simply modified mine with a small rubber catcher from an old quiver and a loop for the blunt end. Works well for me.

I like the idea of flipping it around with the Fletching up but one of my concerns is having my bright fletchings showing. In fact I'm going to try a fletching cover. I'll just try it out and see what happens. Thanks for the feedback.
I carry (2) judos and (4) 2-blade broadheads in my Thunderhorn, both judo heads in the foam. Just push them in deep enough so that the wires stick in the foam as well.
I've got a piggy-backer cut in half, with a hole drilled in it (perpendicular to the arrow stall, underneath the stall), and a leather lace run through it, tied around the hood of my bow quiver. I snap my judo into one of the stalls in my bowquiver (a Selway for the time being, which has a stall facing 90° to the rest), and then to the half-piggy-backer stall on the outside of the hood. It is very secure, and isn't going to make noise, fall out, or lose the piggy-backer.

Made this side quiver a few years back . Holds seven judoes or blunts and six broad heads. I have had all thirteen arrows out in front of me while on ground squirrel patrole.

Nice Bob Lee Deeden!
I've always stowed mine in my bow quiver like the other arrows. Never had much of a problem.
I use a 250 grain judo so maybe it's bigger than the ones that some of you guys seems to get to stick easily into the foam? Maybe I can cut the foam in such a way to get it further in. I think I want to keep the fletching all on one end so that I can use the fletching cover.
Well here is possible solution. Remember the turn signal bulbs in your car or trailer and how they have little bitty tits on the side that you have to push in and turn? How about doing the same thing for your Judo heads. Maybe something like a shotgun shell hull - 28 ga for example that you modified to stick your judo into and gave a quarter turn. Drill out the foam in one part of your quiver and glue in the hull. You might have to play with the hull a little bit to make sure everything stays in place.
Piggy backers here, just put a set on your farthest arrow in the quiver and snap your stumper to it.

250gr. Judo???
I just do as some others have said,put it in the slot furthest away. As long as the gripper is sized correctly, no problem with it holding in the quiver without flipping it over.
I usually stick a couple turkey feathers in the hood of my quivers to cover the fletch of my upside down small game/blunt/judo fletch and use a fletch cover on the others! looks kinda cool too!!!
I fletch stump arrows with oddball color feathers so they're easy to tell apart.
I never carry one. Last that I knew Kansas would only allow you to carry arrows with 7/8 cutting diameter while hunting big game. This rules out the stumping arrow.
either turn it around backwards in the bow quiver or I use one of these piggy backers...

or if your using heavy 250grn heads like I do, then these work really well and still fit into your quiver the normal way...

Guru, I use the 250 grain head because it's the same as my BH and field point set up. I like the judo because I can shoot at various unknown distances so I have to have it consistent with my other arrows.
I'm going to check out these "piggy backers", I'm not familiar with them.
Smallwood, on the hex head do you find that it buries at all or does it do a good job keeping it up? I like the judo over the blunt because it catches in the grass and tends to pop my arrow up. Don't like going diggin in knee high grass during snake season down here:)
I really like the hammers that 3rivers sells, they are like a hex head, only hex head only makes a 200grn point. the hammers go all the way up to 250grns and I like the design better.
I have almost completely stopped shooting my judos(135grn glue-on plus 125grn adapter) in favor of these hammers. they do a great job of keeping the arrow up and not burying, just like the judos. :archer2:
I use a old 12 gauge shot shell cut in half( you can cut as much off as needed for the difference in length compaired to your broadheads). I punch out the old primer and use a machine screw to fasten it to the one side of my cat quiver mini.

Pretty much the same situation here in Pa.. I for one don't want to run into the WCO who has no interest in learning about our "traditional habits".
I carry a kwikee quiver in my daypack with a combo of flu flu and old arrows with a variety of heads for small game. The hood os made to hold any head.
I started using Ace Hex blunts because the will fit in the hole in the quiver foam that a field point makes.
No problem with them getting buried under grass.

I ordered some of the hammers at 250 grains so I'll check them out this weekend.
