I've always carried at least on blunt-tipped arrow in my bow quiver while bowhunting. The reason being that oftentimes before I climb down from my treestand after legal shooting light, I like to pick something out on the ground like a leaf or tuft of grass then shoot at it. My hope is to nail it on that one shot. I'll also take a shot at a rotten stump or log while making my way to my ground blind just to make sure my shoouting form and range estimation is on. Quite often we bowhunters get so involved in the hunt we all too often forget to practice. Of course when I take my shots I take a good look around to make sure I won't spook game. Just wondering if other bowhunters do the same.
Yep, I've always got one in the quiver.
I always have one never know when a small game target will show up
i carry a zwickey or razorhead backed with a grasshopper, the spring part of a judo.
never know when a turkey or small game might make themselves available.
I always do good for small game and or a practice shot out of the treestand
Yep!

4 broadheads,1 ace hex blunt.
I do, usually a couple. Practice shots and in case I want to take a shot at a bushytail.
I carry 4 broadheads and one Judo - I shoot the Judo all the time
Similar to rraming, I always have 3 broad heads and one judo point for stumping along the way if the mood strikes me.
Bob.
4 broadheads and 1 hex-blunt is carried in my setup...............Always a stump to shoot at hunting on the ground.
3 broadheads & 1 small game thumper
Yep, but I don't recommend that you shoot at a frozen hedgeball with one... :rolleyes:
I take either a blunt or a judo, lately I have just been taking a couple dull/pretty used up Woodsmans. I actually thought about filing the point down real flat on em to come up with a new kinda head.
I do. Never know what opportunity might present itself.
How do you carry the blunts or Judos in your quiver. I have lost a few arrows because the blunts are always sorter than the broadheads.
Always.
I always carry a judo point with me for stump shooting on the way in or a pesky squirrel during my hunt. I turn my judo point arrow upside down in my quiver and push the nock point up into the foam.
Yes Sir, always have a Judo so I can take that one shot before I leave.
Don't leave home without it.
Yes I always have a judo along, I need to take a few practice shots to get the old muscles warmed up, and if hunting in a tree I take a shot before getting down.
oops ...
Judo with me
In all my years of bowhunting starting in 1977 I have always had a blunt or small game head in my quiver and routinely stump shoot and small game hunt anytime I am in the woods!
I have an old modified Delta longbow quiver. It has a 7-arrow gripper so I carry either 5 broadheads and 2 judo/blunts or 6 and 1.
Ha! I actually duct taped a shoulder strap to it last year and am still carrying it that way. :bigsmyl:

Have a great season and shoot true! :archer:
Yeah, I almost feel lost if i forget my blunt. I stump shoot as I walk to my hunting area, it frees up my body I find and gets my eye in so that when I need to, im shooting well. And of course its great if a small game animal crops up.
4 and one for me also. During the rut I am know to spray the fletching on my judo with lure and shoot it when I get in the tree.
Matt, I simply push the blunt tip or judo tip into the foam of my bowquiver as far as it will go...never had one loosen up or fall out yet. I know some folks push the nock end into the foam which works well too. Let us know how you decide to carry your blunt-tipped arrow.

How do you find the SGTs when it comes to stopping the arrow from burrying under the grass?
I carry a judo, and shoot my way out of the woods after a morning sit.
I use a Safari Tuff quiver with the hood on it, so I don't have a problem with it falling out.
I always carry a judo, hex, rubber blunt, SGT of some type in my quiver.
Best way for me to keep shooting through the season.
I store mine with the nock in the foam. First to make sure I don't make a mistake in the heat of the moment, and they seem to carry better that way.
They always seem to work loose if I store them point first.
When deer hunting I carry two blunts (usually Ace Hex) and five broadheads.
always. 5 broadhead arrows and one blunt arrow plus one spare broadhead that rides in a spare bh holder that is attached to the quiver hood so i can change out the blunt for a bh if needed.

I carry 4 BH's and one blungeon point in my bow quiver. When I use my safari tuff arrow master I carry 4 BH's ans 2 bludgeons. I always shoot one out of the stand when I'm done in the morning sometimes two. And I like to stump shoot or squirrel or grouse hunt on my way back to the truck. It's great practice especially because I have all my huntimg stuff on.
And it's fun!!!
Six broad heads and six or seven blunts. My bunny hunts often turn into a coyote hunt or the other way around.
3 broadheads and one blunt or field point. I can get in quite a few shots during the hike in or out, plus deal with any small game that needs to be harassed.

That's a great idea! I may just hafta try that!
I've been carrying a blunt of some kind along with broadheads since the early 60's. Back quiver, bow quiver and even when I used a St Charles centerback quiver. I glued a dished out cork on the bottom plate for the blunt to set in...it worked slick.

I carry two Judos, 3 BHs...I modified my bow quiver by attaching clips on the outside of the hood for the Judos...that way there's no falling/looseness, and lots of room for the BHs...
i tote 4 broadheds 2 judos or blunts
Nice shot Ron...a few more and you are on your way to a tasty woodsmen stew.
Always carry one blunt for small game chance or just stump shots.
always
ChuckC
Plus 1 judo point for me. Great practice and warm up.
Carry one blunt and one judo.
Lately 3 BH and 2 Game Nabber heads in my GN bow quiver, heads pushed up to the flares.
A 4 arrow bow quiver with 3 broadheads, and a bullet point with claw backing. I also carry 1 spare 2-blade broadhead in the quiver (held with elastic band)for that arrow. Nice to have a spare, sharp broadhead handy.
I carry a blunt with 4 braodheads in my quiver.
Four broadheads and one Judo.
I have been carrying 2 hex-head blunts (145gr) with adder collars (25gr)and four broadheads (170ish gr). The climbing out of whatever drainage / hole i have found my way into goes by faster and easier when stumping my way out. Sometimes there is the occasional grouse.
:thumbsup:
Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't carry more blunts and fewer broadheads - I don't think I've ever had occasion to use more than two broadheads on the same outing.
Usually 2 - 3 broadheads and 2 small game tips of some sort. Have been using some new "adder" points from 3Rivers this year and really like them. http://www.3riversarchery.com/The+Forge+Converta+Blunt_i4914-1_baseitem.html
Always have a judo or 2 in the quiver.
4 Broadheads & 1 Small Game Thumper.... :archer2:
Usually 3bh and 2 judos put the nock end of the judo arrows in the foam hood of the GN bowquiver. If using a Catquiver they make a booster pad now that installs easily and allows you to carry your shorter judo arrows with the proper tension along with you longer broad head arrows with the proper tension. Bought my booster pad through 3 Rivers Archery, it works good. Denny
Always carry two Judo tipped arrows in my quiver. On morning hunts, I'll shoot them both just before I climb down. On evening hunts, I'll shoot them both right after I climb up. I'm not about to go through all the work of hiking in and climbing into a stand without getting at least a couple of shots... Plus it's great practice and confidence booster!
ALWAYS HAVE ONE OR TWO!!Great warm up every morning and during the day to keep your aiming sharp!!!
MAY THE SPIRIT OF FRED BEAR GUIDE OUR ARROWS.
3-4 broadheads and one judo for me.
4 broad heads, one judo. I usually hunt 1/2 days in the morning and take a couple shouts on the walk out.
Yep, always carry one or two Judo's with me. I find it enjoyable stump shooting my way back to the truck after a morning's hunt.

I glued a rubber snap in attachment on the outside of my quiver for my judo tipped arrow. But after i found out my judo tips weren't flying exactly the same as my broadheads, i went to using one of my same hunting shafts with a field tip & a grass hopper behind it that shoots exactly the same.
Not much sense practicing with a judo tip that doesn't hit the same spot your hunting shafts do...... I wonder how many guys check that out closely?

Yup!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup: :archer2:
Always a blunt in the quiver..for stumps and small critters if I get the chance
Simple answer is "everybody".
judo for me. don't leave home without it...
Always
GreyGoose, I know exactly what you mean...it seems I always have an occasion for wishing I had just one more blunt-tipped arrow with me.
GoBow...that is exactly how I feel...Once out there, I just want to shoot and see my arrow hit what I am looking at.
KirkII, you have a nice looking set-up there.
Judo. Never leave home without it.
I always have a Judo point for squirrel and more importantly to stump shoot.
Never do. Smoking a blunt while carrying broadheads just ain't safe.
:D
