Will Field points kill grouse???

[AKBowman]

Field points DO NOT work on grouse, arrow blows through them and they fly off to die somewhere

     What the hell???   Get real here.

Good way to have a bird fly off with a 20 dollar arrow

Shoot them on the ground with a field tip.  I have killed alot of them on the ground.  If they are in the tree it will pass through, and you can kiss your arrow goodbye.  Did it once.

It's way bigger than a 22 and a lot more weight I bet it knocks it off it's feet kills it right there.  The wdfw forwarded me to sgt something I didn't leave a MSG but I assume they frown on it.  I really wonder now though.  Have any of you who said no way, ever shot a grouse with a FP?  It sounds like you think it's such a crazy idea that there's no way you tried it.... so how would you know?  Just wanted legalitys of it not everyone's opinion on something they've never done    .  I would have named the thread "hey you guys who have never shot a grouse with a FP will a field point kill a grouse".   That would have been a good topic but it's not.

I've shot them but as said before, The arrow go through and flies 100 yard more. The Grouse flies away. It's been done many times.
You need something that won't pass through so easily.

Judo head shot.

Rocks are abundant and free. Just saying.

It's not legal to kill grouse with rocks. Just saying.

Besides, if I tried that my shoulder would be done for.

Take it from people who have done it. You've made it clear you have not done it, you may get away with it but more than likely you will shoot right through the bird and the bird won't budge, then it will fly off and die somewhere. I bet I've killed close to 100 grouse with my bow and seen buddy's shoot them with a field tip, doesn't work well. Best thing I have found is screwing in a small washer between the broad head and arrow shaft, cheap and Lethal as hell. The wider head knocks hell out of them and they just flop right there. If you are he'll bent on shooting one with a field tip than you are risking wasting a good bird

I've shot grouse with field tips before. Like I said they fly off and die. Which is why I said get some judo tips and shoot for the head. I've also shot grouse with judo points in the body, it hit the wing, clearly broke it, flopped around on the ground then got back on its feet enough to get into the brush to become coyote bait.

You can get defensive but your question has been answered and most people have suggested against it. I say go for it, the coyotes gotta eat too.

No my question hasnt been answered cause nOne of you know if it's legal...  Just sayin...  The wdfw couldn't answer so no surprise.  But I do have washers so I'll throw a few in my pack.  Im changing the title of this thread.  Have fun debating guys I have to leave to elk camp.

Poor man's judo point.

I just shoot them with a broadhead.   Keep an old one in your quiver and use it for grouse.  It works fine.

It is legal.

I've killed a couple grouse with field points. Not the best choice, but it will get the job done if you pick your shots wisely.

Sure beats throwing rocks at them.

8 dollars!!!  No way.
