    Small Game Broadheads

    What do you guys use, just your same broadheads for deer? I see on Advanced Archery's website there are two types of small game "claw" type arrow heads. Look cool but how does a "normal" broadhead perform on something smaller?

    Help? (I still want to eat my rabbits)

    I know very little on the topic Dougie but I think the idea of those small game heads is so you get your 30-40? dollar arrow back.
    Field points bury themselves under grass never to be seen again.

    If you mean the judo points they are for taking out small game, I.e birds, rabbits etc a big broadhead hitting a rabbit and you would have nothing left but a bit of mangled meat and fur.

    Oh, and a hunting arrow should only cost you around ten bucks, it's the broadhead that's expensive!

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    Judo heads are great for ground game as they don,t bury themselves as said, normal field heads will work, but Maya's through rather than pin the rabbit down.

    At one point I was using field tips with a flat washer behind it.
    works a treat if you don't want to bust out the bucks for an occasional play.

    These are what I use and are great on small critters, they will penetrate at close range though and can make quite a mess.
