I used judo points for a long time and they are a great product, I sometimes wanted something a little softer and "easier" on my arrows. I have tried about everything out there, and i wanted something a little different. I eventually added a stump shooting specific broadhead to my line of bird hunting broadheads. We call them "stumpers"
you can view our stumpers at www.clarkbroadheads.com/shop (http://www.clarkbroadheads.com/shop)
I use what I call "the mace". It is a 200gr field point drilled through perpendicular and heave gauge wire or nails inserted through the drill holes. Looks like a mace used by knights.
jerry, is this something you made yourself?
I like the Ace Hex followed closely by a plain 'ol cylindrical glue-on metal blunt. I want it to stick so I can see where it hit but be easy to pull out.
I'm shooting judos, but I do like the look of your stumpers. If I ever wear out or lose the judos, I am going to give yours a try.
I like a .38 case on the end of an arrow. Also, I second the Ace Hex blunt.
Interesting looking heads. I'll give them a try when my last judo wears out.
I put a small washer behind the field point. Cheap, quick and easy, easily converted back to field point.

I still like judos as they are tough to lose. Where I shoot blunt and even hex heads snake under leaves and grass making them tough to find. Shawn
Judos work the best for me! I with shoot with friends often during January through April. Snow on the ground makes it tough sometimes to find your arrow, but we have a blast.
balding eagle, .38 case is a cool idea!!! i have never seen that one. Nice. I bet that would hammer something
balding eagle, im assuming that you shoot wooden arrows?
I have always been a judo fan....Yours look great, but do you have pic closer up or a diff angle to see just how the head works?
Thanks
Jake
Instinctive, yes I make my own. I have made them with .38 shells as well. I'll pm you some pics when I get home from work.
I've always used the Judos with a grass catcher.
I think the .38 case is close to the oldest blunt out there, They have been using them since the 30's for sure.. You can cross drill the shaft and add a finishing nail or two for added grab. Or loop some music wire in a figure eight and have a snaro.
I shot judos for years, but found they penetrated old stumps and was having trouble getting them out. Tried the "Hammer" from 3r and have been very impressed. I have not had any slip under grass and or leaves, and they bounce back off stumps, or stay in very sallow. I do collar my shafts with a collar from aluminum arrows.
Another vote for the Hammer. Effective, they don't get buried, and they come in a variety of weights beyond 100 & 125 gr. And I can practically get three of them for the price of two judos.
I saw the 110 grain weight on the Jrs....what to the regular ones weigh?
Drop a #4 split shot sinker into a .38 special case and tap it with a punch and hammer to hold it in place. Total weight= 125grains.
I use the casings and cheap wood arrows when shooting actual stumps. I use Judo's on my alum arrows when shooting in grass.
I like the G5 head for stumping and small game. I shoot a 64# bow and a 626gr arrow and have only ever broke one claw off and it is amazing how they stick in stright on a angled log no skipping off but work like a judo in grass.
I like round hunks of wood that used to be trees, preferably a little rotten with white 'shrooms to aim at.
:smileystooges:
I have shot a judos for years, and probably always will, i shoot my stumpers too of course. Probably 1/2 of my arrows are my stumpers and rabbit heads, 1/4 ace blunts, and 1/4 are judos(i have hundreds). There is an application for all in my book. I have never tried the "hammer" or "G5" they sound tuogh. Terry, the stumper is 125 gr. I dont know why i missed that.
jerry, thanks for the pm pictures. man those things look mean

my favorite stumping device is a old 60in.35# indian semi recurve fiberglass camp bow. takes me back in time every time.
i use hex heads,judos and nickle plated 357 case. i grind the lip off and put a rubber blunt on top. hits hard. i use mostly fluflus for stumping. think i like stumping more than hunting
I use a Talon often with a Scorpio behind the head if I'm shooting in grass. Can't wait to see your Frog head. I've got two very avid frog hunters at home that will definitely put them to good use :)
b44mag, Some times I feel that way too, until I get a buck in front of me. Lol

Just looked in my junk emial folder and your email showed up there...Appreciate your quick response!

Stan, i should have the frog hunting broadhead online by the weekend, there have been enuogh request that we sped up the process. We were originally going to put it online this spring but, because of the buzz it created we have changed that plan. i have almost completed everything on the website to list it. Probably should be up this weekend. We had no idea so many people frog hunted with a bow. My field testers and i cleaned out about 50 ponds this past season. It works waaaaay better than we even thuoght it would. it pins them to the ground so well. That was the "worry" about the product we didnt know if it would hold the frog in place. They like to get loose from a gig. It holds them in place without a problem. I usually had hung my bow up for a few months during the summer, not this last summer. We had a blast hunting these frogs. I got rattled shooting at one "Booner" bullfrog. My heart was beating like a drum. It was cool
