Title: archery grouse - arrow tip?
Post by: KFhunter on September 15, 2014, 10:28:30 PM: 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

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.

Never tried it myself because I use store bought blunts nut they mayke big holes in the bird...

I learned recently that judo points are heck on grouse necks :yike:

Post by: Survival Pack on November 21, 2014, 10:44:43 AM: 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!
