BROADHEADS, FEILD TIPS, JUDO POINTS? WHAT TIPS YOU USE? JUST CURIOUSE.

I like using the judo tips they are plenty deadly and it makes finding you arrows easy if you miss. :))

Yup, Judo's. Easy to find after, and kills them great. I also carry judo's on every back country hunt I do. I kept me and two friends in grouse meat for several days before we got the deer in Sept.

I agree, I use Judo's for our yearly Prairie dog trip to Wyoming, they work great and are pretty durable as well.

I've always wanted to go hunt some little bunnies with my bow - But never wanted to waste a nice broadhead or anything. Seems like everyone here uses "Judos". Anyone mind explaining what these are? A pic. would be great!

As you can probably tell. I just barely picked up archery this year, i'm lovin it though! Thanks for helpin me out guys.

Did somebody say "Wabbit" hunting? They're a blast to sharpen up your bowhunting skills....especially when you shoot some distance. This one was out there at 50 yards. I use Judos and also rubber blunts on the smaller ones. This B&C wabbit needed a judo!

Is that one of those big old antelope jacks that they have down in Arizona? If it is those things are huge. I got a couple down there when I was just outside of Tuscon chaseing javilena. Never have got one with a bow yet.

love huntin wabbits.we take alot of cottontails during bow season and an occassional jack or two if they stay put long enough to get a shot.tried prairie dog a couple times ,Man that takes a little getting used to.for close shots on cottontails we like to use those blunt tips that you use for techno.I am looking forward to trying pheasant hunting with fluflu's this year,that just looks like a blast.

Huge Jack BOHNTR! Thats awesome. I've never seen those arrows anywhere in my life ??? . Can you get them anywhere? (Sportsmans, Cabelas, Wally World, Costco?) Or ya gotta go somewhere special?

I need to get into this, seems like it'd be a blast!

Zwickey Judo points are available at most archery pro-shops and also major sporting catalogs (Cabelas, Bass-Pro, etc.) . They're fairly inexpensive as well.

hey thanx for the info. I like using the judo. i find it if you grind the tip of the judo point down without hurting the wires it makes it quiter flying through the air. Thanx for the information

I've also heard really good things about the G5 small game head.

I like judos, but do find the wires bend, and get twisted up good if you hit stumps, or solid wood, but I've never had a problem straightening them.

That G5 head looks great. I use Judos on flu-flus and have only ever lost one arrow out of hundreds of shots. I use them on dove, quail, rabbits, gound squirrels and whatever else I would shoot with a .22. They make a really good combination.

I love to chase rabbits with my longbow and beagle. For rabbits I like Ace Hex blunts - they're an excellent bunny buster.

Ya it is hard with a bow cuz they will just start runnin if they see you! Luckally a year ago me and my nephew went rabbit hunting with his bow and this rabit was blind or someting cuz it would just try to hide! the closest it would let us get to it was about 10 feet then it would run! my nephew after taken about 10 shots and losing 4 or 5 arrows he finally hit it in the hip! then it started running around in circles and running into the curb on the side of the road then my nephew finally hit it in the head and killed it!!! ya its a retarded hunter and rabbit! thats a fair chase!
