Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Blunts or Judo points

Which seem to last longer and fly better for you? Which kind keeps arrows from getting lost.

I prefer the judo's, for me they seem to fly and last the same as blunts, but the little spring arms on the judo keep it from getting lost. The blunts can still go under thick grass, but the judo will catch and stay on top.

The judo head is the all time champeen of the practice points!

I continually have to dig them out of stumps with a knife I made for the job.

I drive it in above the head, then lever it up, pushing the judo head out.

I can't remember EVER losing one in the bush! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Blunts outright suck <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Use the judo points, or build your own head. You can do this by putting a small washer of your choice between the arrow shaft and the field point. They wont dig into the dirt and get lost, yet they kill well. Take a couple of extra washers to replace the bent ones after the shot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Lightly spray paint your fletching with a bright florescent color of Krylon. I love hunting rabbits and grouse with a bow. Flinch

For stump shooting, I've always used judo points. They do a superb job of keeping the arrow from getting eaten by a rotten stump.

When I'm hunting small game, I have some inserts that I bought way back (Reagan's first term) that look like small metal vanes that I install behind a field point. They're meant to hold on fur and keep the arrow from penetrating. I forget the name of these little beasties. Anyhow, they do an excellent job on squirrel.

Blunts (to be blunt) suck.

I'm in the minority here, I like blunts. 5 years ago they didn't make judo's for wood arrows, haven't checked in so long they may make them now.

Avagaro, They have made cedar equipped for-judos for so long I can't remember when the started! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I do know that they have made them for at least 20.

I used to use the washer style heads, and the 38 special blunts, but tend to like a broadhead with flu flus!

Well there you go ... time for me get my head outta my booty. I do recall looking for them in several archery shops (in PA) about 7-8 years ago and remember being told they weren't made and blunts were my only alternative.



Then again most shops were dedicated to those who shot compounds.
