Magnus, Zwickey are the heads I use most, and I use the same heads for small game as for big game. They run less than $25 per 1/2 dozen for glue-on heads. Screw-in adaptors run another 4 bucks a dozen for when I'm not shooting wood arrows.

Ribtek and Tusker heads run around $15 per half dozen. Never used Ribteks but I hear they are excellent. Never heard of Tusker before, but they're in the price range.

Del-Mar also makes cheap heads and they shoot well. I've simply never been too wild about the metal they use. I'm not even sure it's steel. [&:]

its for small game why not skimp? most small game you can kill with a field tip. if you wanna use broadheads use the the cheap ones.

Depending on what type of small game you intend to shoot, I really enjoy shooting judo points for rabbits and squirrels. They do a fine job of killing them and I can always find my arrow.

The cheapest way to go would be a fieldpoint with a washer behind it. It would be like a pointed blunt...

Have you tried this? Seems like it would catch a lot of air and make accuracy suffer.

Art.

Being from Australia and both those heads are Aussie made I have used them in the past and they are good heads but there is a better Aussie head "Outback" made by Alan Woodward (Woody)and are very affordable.

I have 2 dozen of his Supremes coming in, 170gr;)just gonna have to get some brass 50gr inserts for them:):D

Also if you want a really cheap head and depending on shaft dia. you can use 38 or 9mmbrass, just go to a gun range and pick up some;)

Just buy the G5 SGH (small game head) and be done with it. They're awesome!

Thks. guys. I've used blunts in various forms over the years, and done fine with them. I always use a metal blunt with/without a washer behind it, and like that system...BUT NOT FOR ROCKCHUCKS, which is what i'm after. I wnat as much killing power as i can get for them without having to waste1 or 6$5 broadheads in the rocks. I do have some of the Eastman heads, and will probably just get more of them. They fly true, and r about as cheap as anything i've found. Be nice to get some odl Bear Razorheads cheap somewhere.
