i like something more than blunts for tough squerrils, i really like "game nabbers", but you can make your own with old field points and pliers, just flare out the but end so it breaks creating a cutting edge. no sharpening needed. once they go in they won't come out, and don't stick trees half the time. then again, half the time they do. i usually wait until they are no more than 6 feet up a tree to shoot, but as you can imagine that loses you some shots. with flu'flu's i figured tye jump the arrow a lot because they are so noisy, but many people here use them. do they? sure would let me shoot more if they didn't run like heck when they heard them, i just assumed they would.
