If you use a small game head, which do you use and why? I am considering one to help keep the rabbit population from eating my wife's flowers. With my compound I used the Judo point. I am thinking I need someting stronger with the crossbow.

Try a rubber blunt head.

What kind of vel. are you getting out of your compound and what is it out of your XBow? If it's close then the Judo Head should be fine. Rubber blunts or even a flat, steel blunt would work also. Just watch the weight of the head so it'll match the broadheads you use so you won't have to resight the XBow.

Yeah, I'd say a rubber blunt head would do it.  

I wish I could come up with a head you could stick a tennis ball on without worrying about the arrow going plumb through it at impact.  Think of what you could thump with that baby!

Love em!!!  Judo's, that is. A 100 grain Judo also shoots exactly with matching weight field points.

Shot judos for years and love them.  I also tried the way overpriced G5 SGH's and they performed very well, but you tend to break off a "talon" from time to time.  The judos seem to hold up better over all, but I feel the G5 stops a little faster.  These are vertical bow experiences though.  As fast and hard as a crossbow is shooting, I would think a rubber blunt would go plumb through poor little ole Bugs Bunny!!

I shot a woodchuck with a "Bludgeon" rubber blunt ... and it went right through!   It stopped when it hit the ground and the woodchuck bit the GT in half as he expired.  From that experience (at 386fps) I'd try the judos.

Looks decent but I shoot my small game heads into the ground regularly and think maybe the dirt and stones and stuff would clog these up to the point that they either wouldn't fold back up or expand without a thorough washing and rinsing. I think I'll have to test a few.

I have used Judo's all my life and broken a lot of them but they are pretty tough.

Take a bullet style field tip - sand it on a grinder down to a flat or blunt head, glue a penny to it with gorilla glue or Krazy glue.... viola! not accurate above about 30 yrds but there under at 305 fps she'll knock a big dog senseless and a rabbit or coon is as good as in the freezer.
