Small Game

[beachpeaz]

I need do a bit of rabbit regulation around my property.

 

What do you suggest for small game?

 

Also, is it possible to just use the field tip for a rabbit??

Judo heads are the best IMO. Field points bury in the dirt.

Thats what the description on the Judo head said about the field point.  i was more curious if a regular field point is devasting enough for a humane kill of a rabbit, or if it would just laser through it leaving a bloody hole??  Anyone ever shoot a rabbit with a field point?

Are they weighted the same as other tips so they shoot exactly the same out of your bow?  or do you need to adjust your sites to shoot them?

that's a freaking nice buck man.

 

i've never done it, but I cant imagine a field tip not killing a rabbit.

Apparently they do come in different grains...never paid attention. They fly close enough to not have to adjust the sights. Field points will work but you run the risk of blowing through or loosing the arrow as previously mentioned.

I wouldn't suggest shooting a field point at anything. It can leave you with an unsavory situation. G5 makes a mean looking small game head.

How rural are you? A 22 short or CB cap does a nice quiet job.

rural enough I could shoot them with an AR-15, but what fun would that be? lol

 

The bow will be fun.

LOL. Sounded like you were boarderline infestation. Figured you needed maximum damage

 

Not into slinging the expensive hunting arrows at the ground.....on purpose I mean...lol

I am definitely over stocked on rabbits.  Maybe I should reconsinder the AR-15..lol. 

 

Good point on the arrows.  That is why I was a bit concered with shooting the field points.  If they just blow threw and stick in the ground, that can't be good.

 

Hopefully those Jado points stop the arrow pretty good.
