got into a serious mess of rabbit the last two days and was able to try out a bunch of different small game heads
ace hex
3 rivers hammer
judo
G5 S.G.H.
the first two have proven to be good stumping heads but rather ineffective as hunting heads the judo and S.G.H. were utterly DEVISTATING !
all were 125 grain
has anyone else had unsatifactory results with so called bunny busting heads ?
just checking
 

Things I learned this year.

1)You can belly crawl 600 yards using the wind row of canola to get within 15 yards of a big sleepy mulie buck. I would never even think about doing this with a whitetail.

2)When he stands up and gives you a shot you are looking down to check that the arrow is still nocked (I knew I should have tightened them up).

3)after all that the shot he gives you is fine for a powder burner, not for your stick and string.

4) Don't forget the pack frame when your elk hunting.

:eek:      Knotter - Open the window when using a lot of Duco.

I like a head called the GameNabber.  It has little vanes like a turbine and rips a good hole.

Judos don't hold up for me in the local soil (rocks and gravel).  The legs get damaged.  I do keep a couple on hand for bunnies in grassy fields.

Here's my "arsenal" of small-game heads.

Blunt, Ace blunt, GameNabber, Judo, Tiger Claw, Magnus blunt, Modoc Chief broadhead.
   


The Tiger Claw - now called the "Barta Blunt" - whacks 'em good but can be a mess getting it back out of a rabbit.  Push it on through.  I thought the regular blunt and Ace did a good job on our local cottontails.  Squirrels locally are a lot hardier and harder to kill.

I started using the NAP spitfire expandable broad heads. I was using judos and SGH but had a couple of rabbits that I hit get away. They will open up on a rabbit. Also the expandable blades act like a judo and will stand the arrow up so that you can find them also. The one drawback to them is that they do not bust brush very well.

I shoot Talons...a lot  :D

They are tough as nails, efficient illers and don't ruin meat. If you need an arrow to hang up in brush, slide a Scorpio on it.

Gotta love those Talons! I need more if them!!!!!!

Terry Green did a How To for small game heads ant I like them. you can use this head on any small game from coon to field mouse.

I prefer to use a Flu Flu fletch with a big old 2 blade broadhead like a Magnus or Tusker for rabbit and grouse. They make a clean cut and don't shred/ bruise the little guys to death.
If they get bent just hammer them straight on a rock.
The only drawback with a broadhead is for a critter in a tree over 6 feet up that you can't climb.

Here's a couple pics of some bunny killers I made with Tusker Deltas.  I also have some made from Snuffers similar to Terry's.  The Talon is another great head for bunnies.

holy balls that looks medieval!

that makes me rethink my nutters...

I have used Hammer heads, Hex head, steel blunts, Game Nabber, and Zwickey Broadheads, and had good success with all, Kenneth those are some awesome looking heads.

My experience on rabbits, but especially squirrels, has shown inconsistent results with std. blunts, judos, hex heads, etc. etc. etc. Now only use old broadheads that I've "blunted" the points on a grinder, then re-sharpened. Hope this is helpful & good luck. Best regards, Todd

I've never had any problems killing squirrels or cottontails with Hex Heads.

I agree with Birdbow. Squirrels are tougher than rabbits.

Anyone try those VPA "Small Game Thumper" (SGT) heads?

Thanx

I just a few of those Zbone. Haven't got to try them yet. Hope to soon.

I decided to make some heads out of broadheads after watching a oppossum try to crawl off with a hex through the lungs, and a 3r hammer and judo in the head.  I ended it's suffering with a big stick.

I've also got some of the VPA SGH and they look like they should work well but I haven't got to use them yet.

I`ve done purty good on squirrels with the hex heads but with judos not so good. I`ve knocked a lot of squirrels out of the tree with judos that got away.RC

I have used a lot of different blunts for small game. My experience is that on rabbits, pretty much anything will take care of them, but squirrels are a lot tougherr. Ace hex blunts have been doing a good job on them this year.

Those Tuskers look pretty wicked.

Just old broadheads used here for bunnies!
