hey im 13 years old and make my own arrows with blunts for small game hunting. i use a 55# recurve bow at 28 inches (but i only pull about 26-27inches). i just made my first batch of cane arrows with "nutters" for blunts and i went hunting with them.. i came sooo close to getting two squirrel with my recurve bow and i made some nice hits on the squirrels but they just kept on going as if nothing happened!! on the first squirrel i shot, i heard a loud "slap" from my arrow making contact with the squirrel but the squirrel just kept on running.. when i found my arrow i noticed that there was fur sticking to the blunt but no blood to be found. this was the same case with the second squirrel i had shot. i dont know why they didnt work but i think im gonna buy blunts for cleaner and more humane kills.

Outstanding,  you  have  to  be a  true ace  shot to  plug  a squirrel:)

sailordad:
are yo able to see where you are hitting them?
your not just getting tail are you?

Tsalagi:
I've heard many people report this problem. They've gone to using broadheads. Some report success with Ace Hex Heads. But many are using broadheads.

A nutter is the deadliest head I have used on small game. Good shock with just enough penetration.
