I have used the bludgeon myself. Any of those will work though, but, you should use it during squirrel hunting season

Last season I shot several w/ used broadheads... Usually the heads I would use to finish off a mortally wounded deer.
I shot 7 w/ one old head last year. Since then, I bought the G5 SGH.

I prefer the rubber bludgeon tips. It puts them down right on the spot very cleanly. I have shot rabbits and squirrels with field tips and broad heads and it just seems sort of cruel compared to a small game tip. I never knew rabbits could scream like that!
The blunt tips transfer all the energy to the small game and it takes them out before they know what hits them. Just seems much more effective to me.
