i havent yet but i did buy a blunt tip just havent used it yet. what kind of tips do you use for squirrels? and for groundhogs? do you take shots up into the tree or just ground shots? im kind of worried about losing arrows.

If your shooting into the trees your going to want flu flu arrow fletchings. I want to try and take a coyote with my bow.

I was thinking about getting blunt tips or other small game heads but a friend gave me a few adder points and they work well. The added 25 grains didnt make a difference from shooting just field tips.

I havekilled several rabbits with my bow I use old mech broadhead. I too would like to whack a coyote with my bow. I also recommend judo points, at least for squirrels, my brother hit a squirrel with his bow and them he had to wait to get his arrow back untilit died and fell from the tree. He shot it on the ground, and it managed to climb a small tree with the arrow in it.
