Small Game Points

Post by cooterdog »

Does anybody have any recommended small game points that fly well from a 225lb Excalibur?

Now that my deer season is over, I too am curious what you all recommend.
I've heard Bunny Busters are quite effective, though no experience with them.

Best off is just use a .22 Alot cheaper. I was deer hunting last fall and fired 4 arrows all with Rage 2 broadheads, Came home with a couple rabbits that cost me $80. Broke all 4 arrows. Told wife it would have been cheaper to go to a rabbit farm and buy a couple. Let all the rabbits hop away this year. LOL

I haven't tried these but they sure are pretty awesome looking. :)

Thanks for asking that question and thanks for the answers.

Those are good blunts used them for grouse with my longbow as well as judo points but on a crossbow I don't know if the blunts take out a bunny?

"...blunt force trauma..." With these bows, anything that will hit hard is sure to put em down. (depending on the size of the "small" game)

Guess my best option is to take a few and go walk about and see just how well they fare. I may just take my JRT for run down if it fails! She can darn near out run a Snowshoe hair.
