Default RE: Who needs cheep small game points?

Another cheap and easy blunt is .38 or 9mm shell casings. Just glue them straight onto a wood shaft, or over a field point if you need more weight. You can add wires or finishing nails as above, and they are easier to drill though. I put a drop of epoxy inside when I did that to make sure they didn't slide out, and it adds a little more weight.

Been a while since I made any. I've tried lots of small game points, bought and home-made, and none of them worked very well on rabbits. On the shots they worked with, a field point would have been just as good (head or double lung). I've gone to Ace Hex-Heads, but I haven't had time to go bunny hunting since I did, and haven't tried them out yet. I had gone to broadheads-only for rabbits, but I think the Ace heads will do the trick.

I plan on trying the JSOG nutters one of these days. Right now I'm too pressed for time (or maybe I'm just too lazy) to make dowells into shafting--besides, I've got 15-20 dozen shafts lying around that I need to do something with. 3 or 4 dozen of these are chundoo, which I don't shoot anymore--they should be fine for rabbits and tree rats.
