recurve shooter:

Pat B:
They will be back for free food! ;)
A good cheap point for small game is a "nutter"; a hex nut threaded on the tapered end of the arrow. Get a nut big enough so you will have at least 1/2" of the taper is sticking out beyond the nut. I super glue the wood tip and the nut after threading it on the shaft. The nut adds the shock and the pointed tip adds the penetration.
I shot a squirrel a few years ago with a Judo point. The squirrel was on a large white oak about head high. I hit him dead center of the back from 10 yards with a 55# bow and it ran up the tree never to be seen again. ??? Squirrels are tough critters and a bit of penetration is what it takes to kill them.
