Hey guys, I just got an opportunity to go bird hunting this fall.  I was told that there would be opportunities for chucker and phesant.  Sounds like it will be alot of fun.  

I will be bowhunting.  The question I have is what type of head wold you use to shoot birds.  They will be on the wing.  I have seen the heads with wire loops and all sorts of things, but have never hunted these types of birds.  

What would you fellars say?

I used Broadheads for pheasant this past winter and think the small snaro might work better at knocking down the bird, unless it is a head shot or centers the chest cavity probably won't kill it right away. Pretty hard to center a small pheasant with a broadhead for a quick kill when it's not moving much less when it is flying.I also know some dog owners get real nervous about broadheads which I can understand.

On a smaller bird I would definitely use a bigger head like a snaro. I think any small game head would work for all the birds, but your margin for erro goes way down from a big head like a snaro...3rivers has them in 2, 3 or 6"  The 2" looks interesting for something pheasant sized, but haven't tried it yet.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow's effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

Iv also heard  of the broadhead being a bad idea if your hunting over dogs.......no personal experiance but it sounds like its good coman sense.

I like Ace's hexhead bunny busters for pheasant. They basically cut a hex-hole in whatever you shoot.  Plus, I feel alot better about them with my dogs around.  I stitch them up enough already!

Snaros will bring pheasants down too, but they can be a pain in the butt to carry afield.
