ok, I just checked 3 rivers and neither the hex head or the hammer come in 160gr.  Am I missing something or can I get them in 160 from another dealer?

call Mike Horton @ the Nocking Point (Sponsor List) He's got the 160gr Hex Heads  :thumbsup:

Hex hads are awesome, Like Bob said, Yu can sharpen them and get the heavy weights. Call Bob at Ace he has what ever you need.

My absolute favorite stumping head is a combination made with my absolute favorite small game head. I hunt small game with the old Tiger Claw which is an odd shaped blunt that has a razor cap held into place with a machine screw. With the machine screw and razor cap removed, the steel blunt weighs 85 grains. This blunt is designed to perfectly fit inside a 100 grain Bludgeon. I use a razor knife to cut v-notches between the ribs on the face of the Bludgeon which increases shock power on rabbits and helps to prevent the head from snaking while stumping. The modified Bludgeon weighs 90 grains and when placed over the Tiger Claw blunt, the total weight in approx 175 grains. This is the same weight as a modified 190 Grizzly. The modified Grizzly, the Tiger Claw, and the Tiger Claw w/ the modified Bludgeon all fly to the same POI. They cover all my hunting needs.

I was thinking that with all the plugs for hex heads, I was not needed here. I was wrong. Clay, you're missing something. Somebody posted this link on page one of this thread...

 Ace Hex heads, all sizes!  

Now, go there!

Clay, I've shortened my taper & added split shot to get 160gr. out of my 145gr. Eclipse might work for judos.

I have had pretty good luck with the Ace Hex in 160.  Durable and grab pretty well as everyone has said.

Also, a 100 grain steel blunt with a 70 grain rubber blunt slipped over the top gets you close and you can always shave a few grains off the rubber.  I have never had a rubber blunt slide under the grass more than 1/3 arrow length.

For adjusting judo points to 160 I add a bullet weight (for rigging a rubber worm) into the head.  Check the sinker rack at your local fishing supply.  I have found the 1/16 oz. size to run from 27 grains to 31 grains.  The little chunk of wood that I cut to shorten the point taper runs about 1.5 grains, so tip weight is 160 to 165 grains.  Be aware, however, that by shortening the wood taper you have less arrow surface to glue in.  I have found that the judos pop off easier when I hit a rock with this system, at least with Fletch-Tite hot melt.

All this allows me to shoot field points, rubber blunts, judos, hex heads and broadheads that are matched pretty well around 160 grains.

I would have suggested the hammer as that is my favorite head but is only available in a screw in as far as I know

I shoot the 135 g. judos and 160 g. snuffers. I can't tell a difference in the impact point at hunting range. I think the additional air resistance of the judo compensates.

thanks everyone, I went to the Ace website and ordered from there.  Can't wait to get them.
