Grouse in the skillet

[IL Red]

If ya'll get a chance at a Grouse dinner, do you shoot him with a broad head or field point?

I have some of the saunders judo tips, got a couple grouse from treestand last whitetail season in Michigan with them(black ones pictured below). I have killed a lot of grackels off of my bird feeder with them as well. A lot of people like the G5's(pictured below in the package)

They are going to get broadheads from me this year. Its too frustrating to have one fly off after being hit with a judo.

I just use rocks and sticks. It's hilarious fun and saves expensive arrows.

Must not have hit him very well. I normally use Judo's, but sometimes a used BH if I didn't bring a Judo. The Judo's put a bigger hole through them than the BH's.

Another vote for the G5's. I bring 5 arrows, one tipped with the G5's with a spare G5 and Broadhead in my kit so that if I mess up the G5 pointed arrow, I can use one of my broadhead tipped ones and vice versa.

It was more than one that I've seen fly off after a hit with a blunt. I'm also not the only person I've heard of this happening to. Even Aron Snyder says that happens to him sometimes. I shoot a recurve so there isn't as much energy there but it can happen to anyone.

You didn't say blunt in your original post, you said judo. Big difference.

I don't want to bludgeon them, I want to put an arrow through them with a big hole. Either that or take their head off.....judo's are great for that.

I make my own heads using roll pins going through a field point sideways. It's not a blunt or judo so I don't know what else to call it

I've heard of guys putting a washer between their field point and arrow too. That would work as well and be really cheap and easy.

The judo's just seem to grab a lot of feathers and pushes through creating a big hole.

I like to use 3 Rivers Archery Hammer Points. They do a number on grouse and rabbit.

I use judos. Typically either a clean miss or a decapitation as I aim for the neck/head. I like the judos because they don't sink into the ground and are easier to find on the misses.

The rest of my crew use the field point with a washer and they bring back plenty of grouse too.

I use whatever I have as I have a weakness for shooting at them. Ive seen more then a handful of grouse shot with judo's, blunts and broad heads fly off so its certainly not an isolated incident, poor shots happen on everything if you do it long enough. Last fall I put a judo right up the backside of a big spruce grouse and the thing flew a solid 200 yards, couldn't believe I found it.

Washer....huh....sounds like something this o'l boy might like to try. What size of washer?

 

[Seth Hatecke]

VPA small game thumpers for me. Very accurate, and kill fast. Shot a rabbit last night(eating the garden), and it went at most 5 feet. Kill grouse fast too. Im bringing 6 SG arrows to CO this year.

Anyone ever use a sling shit with 40cal lead ball to the head/neck?

From what I can gather any ol' washer laying in the bed of the truck that doesn't rattle while in the quiver

No-I've never slung shit at a grouse . I have used a sling shot on Sea Lions but unfortunately it doesn't kill them, just teaches them to watch the bait rather then for the net.

The last grouse I shot with a judo the grouse was smack dab in the middle of the shaft, it took off and flew across the Big Su with my arrow running through it.
