What point do you use for your arrow?
How do you get a stump shooting point to match your field point in weight?
If I use my field points they stick hard and want to pull out my inserts when I try to remove them. (Shooting carbons) Thanks Wes
Judo points. You can get them to match your field points.

I also use a judo or homemade. The homemade I can increase or decrease the weight by adding or removing washers.
And depends on the target. I find that judos are perfect in some instances, while field points shot into really soft, rotten stumps work fine. Depends on the target.
I like either plain steel blunts or Ace Hex blunts. Can be had in various weights.
When I shoot carbons I like 200-225 up front. I take a 125 gr judo [glue on] and epoxy a 75 gr steel adapter into it and screw it on....good to go! I also use a footing on the shaft to make it really tough!
And you don't HAVE to shoot stumps when stump shooting. Shoot softer targets.
Glue on Judos matching my heads and I go for soft targets. The dirt of an uprooted tree or old birch and cedar stumps are plentiful here. This time of year turfs of grass etc.

Judos are great, but I use the ACE Hex blunts, they're much cheaper and do a fine job..
I like shooting good dry cow pies!
When Stump shooting, I try to shoot the most rotten ones I can find. That way the arrow comes out more easily. Here is a hillside that you wouldn't want to stump shoot in: :biglaugh:

Judos for me
In the wetland area I spend most of my time in, I use Judo condors. To match my heavyweight broadheads, I take a rubber blunt, cut the end off and trim it until it weighs out right, turn it around backwards, and put it behind the Judo. It works better than a washer for two reasons: 1) It doesn't catch an edge and bend my (aluminum) arrows, and 2) the wide arms on the condors don't kink when they bend backwards, like they do with washers.
I usually shoot clumps of grass rather than stumps. I hardly ever wreck arrows that way, and never have to invest time in pulling them out from being stuck, either!

For my cedars or Doug firs I use the Internal Point Weight and Footing Jig, from 3-Rivers. I use 125gn points, broadhead, fieldpoint, etc, and then add my weight to the front of the arrow with the jig. It works pretty slick and if you shoot woodies it allows for a lot of flexibility with your weight. You just chop off enough nail to reach your proper weight, slide it into the hole the jig makes and then add your point. Saves some money if you have different point weights. For Stumping I use some hex's and judos.
I have gone to the hammers by 3rivers. I either glue up the glue ons to match my bh weight or buy the screw ins, they have a a wide variety of weights.
I also use glue on Judos and whatever weight steel adapter I need.From there,I can fine tune weight by adding lead shot inside the adapter's cavity.You can add even more weight by wrapping copper wire around the narrowest part of the Judo's shank.
