Homemade judos in the archives. Very excellent quality, any weight you decide, cheap, & will not burrow into the grass. Otherwise judos are $6-8 for 2. Hard to beat either.

Trad is 60% mental & about 40% mental.

I have used Zwickey judos for as long as I can remember.  If you do want to shoot stumps another choice is Zwickey's field points as the are somewhat blunt on the end.  They will stick in a dead stump but are not too bad about pulling out as they do not penetrate as well as say a field point. (just an option) They are what I hunt squirrels with as they will not normally stick up in a live tree If I miss they just bounce and when you hit the squirrel it will penetrate but not usually pass through.

All in all when roving I would classify the judo the perfect point as the spring arms makes locating the arrows much easier.  If you want to carry the spring arm one step further buy the ones with the extra long springs.  Although the one draw back to those are they are more awkward to carry but they will not bury at all.

I use Judo points or put these adder points behind a field tip so they don't bury up in the grass or embed themselves too deep in a stump or log.

Sounds like the judo are the ticket.

I shoot 125 gr. Judo points on my Easton aluminum Legacy 2016's at 45 lbs.  Been shooting almost once every week since the beginning of January.  My friends and I shoot everything (rotten stumps, clumps of leaves/grass, etc.).  Haven't destroyed an arrow or Judo, but have lost a few.  Stump shooting = a great time in the woods!
The work praises the man.

I've used Judos for years but this year I am trying out my new Small Game Thumpers(SGT). So far, so good.   :thumbsup:

Do yourself a favor and try the RFA talons they are tougher than judos, and still do a great job of not skipping. Plus as a bonus Stan is doing a sale on them right now! 4 heads for the price of two.
I'm not saying judos are not good, they are, but I seem to go through them a lot faster than the other heads. We don't have many soft stumps in the Rocky's  :)

I use hex heads and flat head field points. The flat head will make a hole the shaft size and is easily removed from the stump.I always break the prongs on the judo points when I use them.

You can always get a 145gr or larger field point and grind the tip flat on a bench grinder.

Stumpkiller

Conical blunts, Ace Hex, GameNabbers and Judos.  All make good stumpers.

The GameNabbers are a good mix between cheap and effective.  Good for stumps or bunnies and cost half what a Judo does.




The other three in the image are my additional small-game heads.

I have gone to footed carbons and hex heads for stumping. They sure take some abuse!

Judo's! I've killed alot of stumps and never lost a head.

They work great!

I have been shooting Judo's for a tad over 25 years and love them.  They shoot just about as well as a field point.  They can take a massive amount of abuse and i have not lost an arrow with a judo point on it in any condition ( not to include snow ).  

Hex heads and the Red Feather talons are top notch also.

HEX HEADS ,I FIND TO BE GOOD AND STRONG,FOR STUMPPIN OR SMALL GAME,,,
GREAT MEN LIVE DANGEROUSLY,small men don,t take chances...

I admit to not reading this entire thread and to being out of trad for several years but does no one glue rifle or pistol cases to their old shafts for shooting small game and stumping any more... Almost everyone I knew did that in my younger years..

JUDO!  the only point made for stumping!  works great on small critters, too!

For general roving I use Judo points and my aluminum arrows. When actually shooting at stumps I use wood arrows with .38 casings.

If you smash a #4 split shot sinker in the bottom of a .38 casing you end up with a 125gr head.
There is no great fun, satisfaction, or joy derived from doing something that's easy.  Coach John Wooden

Yep, I've used those also but I've smacked squirrels with them and they just ran up the tree and started barkin at me. Never had that problem with a judo and they just bounce off the trees without burying up. I shot a squirrel with the adder point behind a field tip and it went through him just like a miniature broadhead. It left about a nickle sized hole and he was dead right there. The adder points are fairly cheap and I've also found that they will keep an arrow from burying up under the grass to much.
If your on a budget the adder add ons are a cheap alternative to judos and they get the job done.
