archery grouse - arrow tip?

What tips do you all like to use?
Using judo's 100gr and they either make a huge mess on a direct hit or skitter off the feathers and the bird flys off probably wounded.
I was also getting them ducking the arrow on head shots when I started going for only head shots.
I tried old broadheads and found the feathers or brush would deflect the arrow and again they fly off in a cloud of feathers. Also broadheads don't stop so good luck finding the arrow
so if there's a better way to go I'd like to hear it

I use a bird loop sometimes,(4 wire loops protruding from a center blunt point) they work good but shoot a little different. You need a longer arrow too. Last year I hit a grouse and breasted it all in the same shot. The 2 I shot this year just thumped them really hard, no meat damage.

One of the guys at the Club uses a washer tak welded to a feild tip. Its cheep, Hits hard and suposidly if you miss it will still flip up like a Judo tip.
Never tried it myself because I use store bought blunts nut they mayke big holes in the bird...

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

The Montecs
may
put one down, I can't be sure though. I spent a few hours trying to get a decent edge on them and I'm resigned to use the Montecs only for turkey hunting. Probably best to stick with small game heads or judo points.
I learned recently that judo points are heck on grouse necks

A dime with a hole drilled in the middle.Put your field tip into the dime and screw it into the arrow. Instant 10 cent grouse buster.

I use a spent shell casing (.32, 9mm, .38, .40 or whatever fits your arrow) epoxied over the end of a junker arrow. Lots of energy transfer with the blunt hit.....There are very few that escape this combo!
