Squirrel hunting setup?
Pat B:
Bright color fluflus are the way to go. I don't like broadheads for squirrels because it's hard to get a stuck broadhead down from a 30' limb or trunk. A blunted, dull broadhead would work ok though.

Ha! I had a couple of arrows stuck in trees last year. I cut down a tall, spindly maple tree and used it to prod the arrow out. You gotta be careful the arrow doesn't come straight down on you though!

Russ:
How does the Nutter arrow kill the squirrel? by blunt force or does it penetrate a little? im guessing blunt but im going to be hunting for squirrels soon so i gotta make a batch of arrows
Also, will a nutter kill a rabbit or should i carry some broadheads on me?
Pat B:
Russell, the tapered point penetrates a little(1/2" to 3/4") and that with the blunt force from the nut is what kills the squirrel and they will kill rabbits too.
I've shot squirrels with Judo points and blunts and had them scurry back up a tree. Whether it killed them later or not I don't know but they were never recovered. The squirrels I've shot with a nutter hit the ground dead or close to it.
