I use my regular practice tips. They usually work great and have lost few animals from this purpose, maybe one or possible two. If I don't pass thru, they are usually pinned to the ground/tree. Pas thru's usually resulting in killing shot anyhow. Good luck!

I was hoping to post of pictures of the shots on small game with my bow, but I cannot locate the pictures on this computer.

judo points work great and will help prevent lost arrows. The game points frm G5 are another good choice.

I had good luck with the bludgeon tips (hard cone-shaped rubber). Took a squirrel and a rabbit a couple months ago. They also do what they're name says "bludgeon"

Trust me, if you use a broadhead on small game, there will be nothing left. I shot a squirrel while deer hunting and ending up with a squirrel doughnut.

I have used my broadheads, feild points, G5, and Judo's. The broadheads are the most lethal,

judos and bludgeons, alot cheaper than broadheads, highly effective and don't tear up as much meat.

I use some of my beat up alluminon arrows and screw a bolt in the end with a washer on it. The work great as a bludgeon plus their cheap if you lose them. I have shot a TON of cottontails this way.
