snowshoe hares with compound

[ghost]

this weekend while out hunting for deer I came across quite a few hares. some of which I could have shot with my bow,how many have tried this. What tips do you have for type of arrow and broadhead. thanks for any info.

[Wild one]

Lots of small game points(judo and blunts are most common) out there and broadheads work but I recommend using junk ones because you will wreck them

I have shot lots of small game with a bow rabbits included and always carry 1 arrow for small game. Lots of others do the same

I carry 2 flu flu arrows with judo points to shoot small game

I will try the judo tips,do you need the flu flu arrows or will a regular arrow be okay.

Both work but flu flu arrows just slow down faster making it easier to recover your arrow

[Dlo11]

Depends on the rest you run on your bow

I was out last November for deer and came across many snowshoe hares. Unfortunately I didn’t have any other tips for my arrow so I just flung my fixed broad head at three of them, all clean QUICK harvests. I know it’s not ideal but couldn’t pass up the opportunity

cool, nice work!

what poundage are you guys shooting? I always get concerned with shooting 70lbs at small game that I'll blow right through it. Fortunately or unfortunately I haven't had the chance yet to test my arrows yet, I'm just using rubber screw-ins instead of judo points but I don't think that would change much.

I ended up taking three rabbits out on a deer hunting trip with my compound bow. Draw weight was at 65lbs and luckily arrows just stuck in the ground with rabbit still stuck on arrow

Judos work very well. Some like the G5 small game head. Others the HTM style rubber blunts. A cheap effective rabbit head is a fender washer installed behind a screw on field tip.

Back in the days of wood arrows, i shot a ton of rabbits with an empty .38 case with four .177 lead pellets swaged into the case for a tip. Push it on a 23/64" woody, center punch the case at the middle on one side and back toward the case mouth 3/16" 90* away a second time. Drill two holes with the smallest bit you have, drive a finish nail through each and clip off the ends. I had some hold up for quite a few shots, some for one shot. They were deadly on cottontails and snowshoes. On jacks I always used broadheads.

Lots of fun, decent eating, etc Good luck!
