i love the knock down of the g5 heads but the judos are better at stoping and nit skiping. thats because they snag up more with the wires.the judos are a little less expensive.

most time they do shoot pretty close to field points. but they do have a little more drag on them. so they might shoot a little diffrent but it should not be that much with a tuned bow.

Those little springs on Judo Points seem to do their job of preventing the arrow from tunneling into the ground and keeping it more visible. I really prefer a Judo when shooting some small game but I have never tried a G5 Small Game point. It just doesn't seem to appear to have any new feature which would make me use it.

The Judo points are good - what I use.  I like the little wires on them because they hang in the grass/brush better.  They are actually quite a bit less expensive, as well.  They shoot right where my field points do, as well.

Man I learned the hard way not to stump shoot with Judo points. Is there a point that is a legitimate point to use for stump shooting that won't ruin arrows or bury themselves in the stumps?
Or is stump shooting an urban legend that really doesn't work effectively.
 :chuckle: Thats entirely possible...it would be just my style.
I shoot the Judo's and think they work great, I've never tried anything else.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

They seem to get good reviews. One thing which I noticed in their reviews was this tidbit:

Quote
Comments about The "Hammer " Small Game Blunt Screw-In:

Hi, I used the " Hammer " point to compare with the " Judo " point.And in tall grass the Judo point is a lot easier to find than the Hammer. I use it on 1916 alu. with a Blackhound Archery "Wedge"50#@28.Also,the Hammer makes the arrow skip further away.Not what I was expecting !
For my use, " Judo " wins.

I would agree that the judo is generally easier to find.  I will also say that hitting a grouse with the Hammer is very gratifying!  Even more so when you whack that squirrel that has been chattering at you when you're straining to hear an elk bugle.

Hitting any bird with the bow is great fun. And this year's grouse hatch seemed decent up high.

Now the squirrels - I can't stand the damn things. But I usually reserve them for the Saunders wrist rocket.

Ribka turned me on to Judo Points durring erly season this year. I had to go and get some after i got home and now i have them for late season  :IBCOOL:

When we were bored walking around, we were shooting them  at bushes and sage brush.

One tip he gave me was to only shoot "dead rotting stumps"  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
