Specifically would like to hear what you use for squirrels. Blunts, field points, broadheads? Flu-Flu's?
Thanks
Ken
When bowhunting for them, I take either RFA Talons or Judo's out and use a combination of regular and flu-flu arrows. If I'm getting them off the ground I prefer Judos as they seem easier to find. If I am getting them off a tree then I like the Talons. I shoot flu-flu's when I'm more likely to loose an arrow and prefer them to regular arrows but sometimes I'll grab a regular arrow because it seems like the better choice.
40# at 28". put a 135 gr. broadhead on and cut the tip off. if that dont work, i usually drill out the primer of a .45 casing and put a filed point through it. this way i have a blunt, the tip will make a small hole for the blunt to get some penetration to do more damage.
No-go on field points, I did that a bunch as a kid. My experience is that squirrels are pretty tough. I've had good luck with ace Hex blunts and usually use regular fletched arrows and try and get them on the ground.
I took nap hell razors and grinded hte tip flat tehn grinded them so there 3 hooked. doesnt skip easy and should do the job, fly great
Field point wood arrows with regular size feathers work the best for me. A field point for wood arrows is fairly blunt and will usually bounce out of tree limbs except trees like cottonwood which have thick bark. I have no experience with smaller diameter arrows like carbons but would think sticking in tree limbs would be a problem. I lose too many squirrels with blunts.

Sgt or judo for me.

I think A field point and an adder works best for me or a old broad head or a new broad head if its already on the bow. No flu flus they slow the arrow down too much for fuz rats.
