Grouse hunting with crossbow?
Can anyone tell me if they hunt grouse or rabbit with crossbow and share some tips with me. what type of arrows and heads i should use and any other tips and techniques? This will be my first time, I got my license today to hunt in Ontario with bow only and I own an Excalibur cross bow.

I shot a couple grouse with my Exomax while moose hunting in Noelville/West Arm of Lake Nippising. I just used the factory GT L2's with a G5 SGH. Very accurate little broadhead. I have also shot rabbits with it too so I know it workks well on them too.

I know of a vertical bow hunter who makes his own wire loop points for taking the heads off grouse. They look something like this:
