Specifically would like to hear what you use for squirrels.  Blunts, field points, broadheads?  Flu-Flu's?
Thanks

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

When bowhunting for them, I take either RFA Talons or Judo's out and use a combination of regular and flu-flu arrows.  If I'm getting them off the ground I prefer Judos as they seem easier to find.  If I am getting them off a tree then I like the Talons.  I shoot flu-flu's when I'm more likely to loose an arrow and prefer them to regular arrows but sometimes I'll grab a regular arrow because it seems like the better choice.

40# at 28". put a 135 gr. broadhead on and cut the tip off. if that dont work, i usually drill out the primer of a .45 casing and put a filed point through it. this way i have a blunt, the tip will make a small hole for the blunt to get some penetration to do more damage.
OH BOY IS THIS GREAT!

No-go on field points, I did that a bunch as a kid. My experience is that squirrels are pretty tough. I've had good luck with ace Hex blunts and usually use regular fletched arrows and try and get them on the ground.

Field point wood arrows with regular size feathers work the best for me.  A field point for wood arrows is fairly blunt and will usually bounce out of tree limbs except trees like cottonwood which have thick bark.  I have no experience with smaller diameter arrows like carbons but would think sticking in tree limbs would be a problem.  I lose too many squirrels with blunts.

I think A field point and an adder works best for me or a old broad head or a new broad head if its already on the bow. No flu flus they slow the arrow down too much for fuz rats.
You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.
