ACE Hex heads or Judo points or VPA

[Wudstix]

Which head do you prefer for stumping and/or small game?

[Broken Arrows]

VPA  Small game thumper

[Duker]

I use Ace Hex Heads for small game like rabbits and squirrels and for stump shooting I mostly will use judo points or sometimes blunts 

[Ryan Rothhaar]

Home made. Drill a hole thru a field point and tap a 1 1/4 inch long roll pin thru it. Works as good as a judo.....costs lots less!  😉

Big fan of hex heads.
Way easier to pull out from a punked out log.

Ace HEX heads for me for both small game and stumping.  Durable, come in 175 gr. and, so far, haven't lost any.

Met them in person at a Trad Show and they told me that there heads are guaranteed against loss.
" If you ever loose one, bring it back to them and they will replace it "

Use glue on heads.  Have Judo and HTM blunts, just dropped hammer on half dozen 200 grain ACE Hex heads.  VPA look good, but I saved a few dollars with ACE.  Probably last me a few years.

I usually have both in my quiver when stumping.  Hex for stump shots, Judo for dirt clumps, grass, etc.  Tend to use a Hex for rabbits and squirrels, a Judo for birds.

Judos are awesome but I prefer blunts just so I can use whatever quiver I want easier.

Judos for stumping only...... one of the few items I have ever found that I have a REAL hard time breaking or tearing up.

Broadheads only at game period....

From the 'How To' forum.....

I tried out some WWs with the tip severly pyramided on some bunny's at TX Sweat earlier this year, and they did real well....although I was really after hogs and javies...I didn't really go after bunnys.

So I used them again during the Littlefeather Bunny hunt last month...and I was really after bunnies so the heads got a LOT of use.

They performed very well...often pinning them to the ground, prickly pears, or mesquite trunks.  Very consistant hit-recovery ratio.  Best I've found OR seen for bunnys.

However, I did see room for improvement in getting them out of the back quiver....they tended to drag a bit.  So I took them to the belt sander and backed them up at the turn using the guard as a jig and took off the sharp corner and flat spotted it.  Made a big difference....now they just glide out.

Out of the two you mention Wud, I like the Ace Hex Blunt. Un-breakable and no springs etc to get all buggered and bent. And I can get glue-ons in the heavier weights I need.

But, that said, as much as I like the Hex Blunt, they are becoming more and more expensive to get from over there in the States, so for all my stumping and small game now, I use a home made blunt that works really well

It's simply a 160 grain field tip with a 1/4" hardened flat washer silver soldered to it. They weigh in at a fuzz over 190 grains, and have proven time and time again to be very effective, very robust, and just about un-losable. And I've shot them many 1000's of times 

Not everyone's cup of tea, but I like 'em 

Best

I used the 3R rubber Bunny Busters for stumping last year, 125gr to match my Zwickey Eskimos. Rather disappointing as almost all of them had the cedar shaft push through after a couple 'head shots' against rotten stumps that turned out not to be so rotten after all. Planning on trying out both judos and hex.

Ryan, can you post pics? I'm curious, thanks

Hard to beat a Hex.  I regularly have on hand plenty of 200 gr screw in and 125 glue ons.  Tough as nails is an understatement.  Perfect medicine for rabbits!

[RIVERWOLF]

Hex heads and judos.....Love them both;)  Though the judo is better played for roving(stumps-sticks-leaves-debris), I have taken squirrels with them . Keep the shots close , as should be the measure with tradional anyways

For all around roving , decayed stumps (learnt after yrs of stumpology study),small critters like rabbit-squirrel CLOSE...and ease of carry I most often carry Ace hex heads. 

I will also add...for just hunting small game...I do prefer using broadheads.

I've said this many a time over the years as a means to describe tree rats.....

The squirrel is ""A ball of muscle wrapped in a buffalo hide"" !  RRW....

[Terry Green]

To add  to my original post....

You can also round off the point more sever than the steep pyramid in the pic.  I use rounded off ones for squirrels in trees.

This pic depicts a bunny, hog n javie hunt.... the ones in the back quiver are for bunnies as in the pic on my 1st post.  The back quiver is dropped at the sign of hogs or javies leaving me with my bow quiver full of real broadheads.

Good stuff Terry !

My rabbit opps are pretty thin in these parts. You gents have about a "life-time" of what Bunny meat I have producted thus far with bow in hand ;^)))   That looks like TOOoooo much fun in a good way .......

[Wudstix]

Now I have something to do with all the Woodsman heads I have.
