best heads for squirrels??

[Longbowcrowder66]

Just wondering what type of head is best for squirrels? Steel blunts, rubber blunts, judo???? Whatever else is out there to use? If possible pic of set ups. Many thanks!

I like the Ace Hex blunt.  Have done pretty well with GameNabbers also.

Broadheads.

If you are not inclined to go with a broadhead, which I am, then use a field point or hexhead with a wing nut screwed in behind it.

These are what I use.

Inform the unenlightened (me) please.

I'm with PowDuck. Information is needed. I'm thinking that would make a dandy grouse head!!!

Judos work for me or old 'tip broken' BH's.  Squirrels can be really tough to kill sometimes.

Those are the talon small game heads available on his site.

the best head is really going to be determined by how much weight you are drawing. Squirrels have some tough hide and are tough critters to boot.

.38 or .357 deprimed, screw, washer and a wing nut.

I got one in the yard last week at 35 yards with a field point and he tried to run off with my arrow... He found out its hard to run thru the bush with 14" of arrow out each side of his neck. I may start using my broadheads!

Good shot at 35 yards, congrats!!  I've smacked them off a tree at under 10 yards with a rubber blunt from a 60lb compound, only to have them run off.  Squirrels are super tough.

It was luck, I can't deny it, lol! I broke out the phone and filmed it running off with my arrow across the yard, haha.

field point with a wingnut turned backewards works fantastic.

For bushytails, I prefer the Tiger Claw. I believe 3 Rivers changed the name and put Barta's name on it. If I catch a squirrel feeding on the ground, field points work well. They have a tough hide!

I prefer using judos. I tried a field tip once and only got one lung so when my dog caught up to it, it bit her on the nose and hung on while she was doing circles trying to swing it off. I had to pull it off her, at which point she grabbed it from me and took off with it. All I got back was one hind leg and the tail.

Shot placement is the key.  In the words of Buff "I try to shoot them in the eye, pretty much anywhere in the eye will work"...
