One of my favorite memories was when my Dad and I were hunting pheasants and rabbits when I was in high school.  I had my recurve bow for bunnies and he had a shot gun for shooting birds.  We were walking through some corn stubble when he flushed a rooster.  It flew right at me so he couldn't shoot at it.  I saw it coming and nailed him (the bird, not my Dad) with a field tip, in the air at 30 yards.  My Dad just stood there speechless.  When we got home he had to call all of his buddies to tell them about it.  He brought it back up to my friends this weekend at our Superbowl Party.

My first bow kill was a grouse with a blunt. impaled him and stopped turned him into "Grouse on a stick" :chuckle: Two years ago I 8 ringed a turkey(Jake) but I just missed the vitals and never found him. Also that year I tried judos on grouse and ripped every feather off the back of one that flew off. Then another at 28 yards hit him square in the breast, the arrow bounced off him skipped on the gravel road and launched itself down a canyon the grouse came to about the time I got to it and it flew off  :'(  I'm out $12 bucks on that trip and came home hungry ;)

Tom Tamer, I've had blues fly off after being hit with a Judo. This year I switched to the new Muzzy SG-X small game head. I can't say that I've yet shot a blue grouse with one, but with the Trocar Tip on that head I have every confidence that it will get the job done.

It kills me in the early season I have the choice do I bird hunt that day for deer hunt. I always go for deer but still ususally end up shooting a limit of grouse with my bow and loosing an arrow or two. Yes expensive but I cant control my self, they sit there just staring at me asking to be shot, you feel obligated to try.  :chuckle:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Nice I may give those a shot. are those the judo style with the Muzzy chisel point on them? I was wonder if thos chisel point type may allow for more penatration, either that or I'll just use some Turkey spurs behind a field point ?
