Thumbs up G5 S.G.H. heads...

Do a heck of a job on grouse!










The arrow is resting on grouse after cleaning it. Bowled the bird over a few times. Stopped on the ground about 10 feet behind it.

X3 on the judo. It even makes the arrow stand up when it hits the ground. Way better imo.

You can drill a hole through the center of a bottle cap, hold it against the arrow with a field point and kill a grouse just as good as a judo.. sgh or a shocker. Doesnt take much to kill a grouse.. a well thrown stick if you must. SGH looks like a stronger head out of all of them... and a great rabbit head.

They are strong maybe too strong...some will break claws off when hitting rocks...went thru four in one day hunting gophers...gets expensive


Never had a judo break ...bent a few but never broke any

Back in the day when we build our own bows for small game we used to use empty 30-30 casings on end of arrows... for larger game you could punch out primer insert a nail inside head would hold it in and then flatten nail into broadhead.

Any bow mounted cam it is very tough to get the impact on camera...due to follow through. I prefer it mounted near my sight, not the stabilizer because I think it gives the camera a better line of sight.

Yeah, all I could find were the shockers too.

So far, I've only broken one of my SGH's. They are a bit on the brittle side.
