For those of you that use them,
Do you cut off the points any, or just use them as they are ?
Thanks,
Jerald
Use them just the way they are :thumbsup:
yea or add a washer behind the head to harden the blow
I have found the bodkin to be a very good small game head. Very tough, shoot straight and are deadly with a burred edge i get on them using a belt sander.
when i have hunted in france i used judo's!
I blunt the tip of small three blade heads. I like the old Hills Hornets better than any others. I also use the bodkins, ma-3's, and High Precisions. They all work great on small game. The blunt tip aids in retrieving them after a shot in the trees. They don't tend to stick except in heavy bark pines, etc.. Good luck! CK
Ususally, by the time I relegate broadheads for small game hunting, they're already a bit beaten up. Either that or they're old, inexpensive heads I picked up somewhere.
I haven't hunted with them yet, but I picked up some old Hill's Hornets this summer and they look like they will be great for rabbits. They are a smaller 3 blade head with a kind of blunted tip. It's kind of hard to explain what the tip looks like. I'll see if I can find a picture...here it is:
