using stone points for small game??

Got a question....

I've shot 4 squirrels with those damn heavy HTM rubber blunts that my dad got from 3 rivers archery, and every one of those damn things ran off.  I shot one right in the chest in Iowa last year at a distance of 12 feet.  It knocked the squirrel out and I was trying to get to the squirrel to collect my prize, when the SOB woke up, shook it off, and ran back the other way!  That's the equivilant of a human getting shot in the chest with the flat end of a telephone pole at 70 mph.  No human would ever walk away from that, but that squirrel did!  I couldn't freakin believe it!

I shot 2 squirrels this fall with those rubber blunts and they both ran off unhurt.

So I quit using those blunts and started using stone points.  I killed 2 squirrels within 2 weeks of each other.  So now I'm sold on stone points more than ever.  Anyone ever had any similar experiences?

Yeah same here,, I hit one in the back and luckily it broke his back and I was able to chase him down and wack him with a stick  ;D , others got away.........Stone points or broadheads are the way to go.
