    Getting ready to buy some, anyone ever shot them for small game? Just wondering how they fly compared with same weight field point or broad head. Ill be taking them to colorado and when not after Elk OR during we will be chasing Chuckers.

    it's way cheaper and for shots within 20 (my only experience) it works like a charm

    i'm not sure about shooting it out of a compound though. i've only shot these out of my longbow (both zwickey/wingnut)

    Zwickey shoot pretty god out if compounds, they are loud though. And I would keep it to rabbit sized gamer or smaller with not so tuff fur. Hit a few ground hogs and they seem to just glance off.

    I used the G5 small game tips and shot placement is still key. I shot a woodchuck standing stright up square in the middle of the body, watched him flip off the log and go into his hole. Week later he was back out and you could see the mark, Felt bad for the little guy. Im guessing those are going to be about the same. Not sure how tough chuckers are though.
    I will probably go back to something like this. Neet Small Game Stopper | Bass Pro Shops

    They're not real good at stopping squirrels, they just zip right through, but they work pretty good for black birds. When I shoot them at squirrels I put a small washer on first and then screw them on. Myself, I've been looking for something else for a small game head.

    Thanks guys, im thinking im going with the Zwickeys 100 gr to keep weight the same. They will be used only on Chuckers!

    Ive been trying to find something new as well. I shot a coon in the head at 10 yards with one and was never able to find it. I hate to waste broadheads on them though.

    As for flight they surprisingly flew pretty similar to my field points
