Judo Points

[snavematt]

Anyone use these? I currently have a tree rat about 50 feet up a tree with a Judo point in its chest, and a lumiknock reminding me I can't reach him, and i can see it clearly from my office window bright green glow

I have 60+ pounds of draw just curious if anyone else has had this issue before? Too much weight for a judo point?
As a note he was hit from about 20 yards while he was on the ground.

I never had a problem with 45lbs of draw. I usually aim for the head so its a kill or a clear miss.

I was going for a head shot, I must have been off a hair or he moved from the sound. I feel bad that it wasn't a clean shot

Kinda funny nice shot tho. Those lumenocks arent cheap probaly a $15 arrow sticking up there.
I use judos they are more for arrows getting lost in grass as you found out they will stick in trees and stumps.

I'm going to rig up an old arrow with a field point and tie a fishing line to it, and then shoot him and try and pull in down. bastard is just hanging there like an ornament

Take a field point or a blunt-(or a .38 cartridge casing works good for old cedar arrows) drill a hole or 2 in it and stick piece or 2 of stiff short wire thru it- homemade judo point- a field point will jut blow thru a squirrel and lodge in tree-ask me how I know?

Flu-flu with a blunt point for getting him down.

I keep one of these in my quiver and haven't had an issue.

I glassed him today, he is no longer in pain, but the whole judo point is inside his chest, near the fletching is stuck in between two branches and he is just hanging in the air by the arrow. He treed himself after I shot him on the ground.

Slingshot sounds like the cheapest way.

I hate it when that happens! A long time ago, I shot one with a field point and pinned him to the ground. The dang thing slid right up the arrow and through the fetching. ....ugh, I can still see that. Slow deaths suck for animals.
