Post by: carpsniperg2 on October 07, 2010, 10:15:58 AM: 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.

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.

Post by: jackelope on October 09, 2010, 04:09:55 PM: 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.

I like these. As effective as the G5 ones at 1/3 the price.

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.

Post by: Todd_ID on October 11, 2010, 07:20:29 PM: 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.

Post by: Ray on October 11, 2010, 07:35:03 PM: 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.

Post by: gasman on October 11, 2010, 08:43:32 PM: 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:

Post by: halflife65 on October 21, 2010, 04:07:00 PM: I always look at what I'm shooting through my binos before I let one fly, too. Just to make sure that there isn't a rock hiding somewhere around where I expect my arrow to hit.

Yeh only soft stumps because the fresh ones are hard on the arrows :chuckle:

Post by: halflife65 on October 21, 2010, 11:05:52 PM: Eh, you keep shooting them at stumps and clumps of brush you'll hit a rock eventually. I break a couple every year but I shoot a lot in the middle of the day.
