Will Field points kill grouse???

[blacktailcody]

Try it with fp's and tell us how they work. Pics are welcome too.

Hit a grouse in the head with a FP and it's lights out...

Grouse are not big game, so its legal. I think its been said a couple times. Check page 75 of the hunting regs, line f. Seems clear to me... good luck! I can't seem to figure out how to cook grouse in a way I like it so I've quit killing them. I see a ton of them picking mushrooms, wish I could figure out a way to like them.

I have shot 5 grouse with field points, lost 3.  I have shot perhaps 30 grouse with a field point with a 1/4" washer behind it, lost 2.  A field point which breaks a wing or hits the brain/spine will allow you to recover the grouse, a pass-through with a field point that does not results in a bird that flies off and is lost. 

It is completely legal to shoot them with any kind of arrow.

Field Points work.
I have 5 broadheads in my quiver, and 1 field point for grouse/sight verification.
I know my field point is always on the left side, with different color fletching.

Had one fly off with my $10 arrow this year after grabbing my rubber blunt instead of the judo out of the quiver! Blunt shot clear through hit the dirt bank on the backside, arrow didn't make it all the way through and the damn thing flew off, arrow hanging out the side never found dinner, or my arrow!

Yeah they will kill a grouse. Know a guy who killed a deer with one...on accident.

Umm How do you kill a deer with an arrow on accident? Not trying to bash your buddy.

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

Not sure about $20 unless yours are plated in gold, but not a good idea.  I shot a quail once with a field tip, it flew off with my arrow in it.  Luckily it caught in the branches of a tree and I manged to get it.

Marble and rist rocket works well.

allen makes a cheaper copy of the judo point.. The judo has definitely make a difference for me on rabbits. for grouse it should be the ticket. The adder point, as its called, which is the dull bladed washer that goes behind a field point- has worked good for small game over the years, and the ad somebody posted a link too showed a pack of 6 for 8$, cheaper than either version of the judo. Never thought of a regular washer behing the field point, have to try that one..

I assume he meant his buddy accidentally shot the deer with a field point instead of a hunting arrow. I carry a filed tip in my quiver sometimes for birds and I can see how the heat of the moment that he could have grabbed the wrong arrow!
