What is Judo arrow point for?

JUDO® (Grabbing) Points Are designed for field practice, and used while roving under simulated hunting conditions and selecting targets such as leaves, stumps, or sticks. Have small protruding wire springs (grabbing hooks) on the arrow point to prevent the arrow from disappearing when shot into ground cover.

What grain arrow point should I use?

Broadhead weight matters With choosing a broadhead weight, most bowhunters are trying to achieve the ideal 12-15% front of center (FOC). FOC is important as it aids in a flatter shooting arrow and penetration. Most bowhunters are running a 390-430 grain arrow with broadhead to achieve this.

What are field point arrows?

When to Use Field Points Field points are used for target practice because their flight is true and their shape helps save the wear and tear on your archery targets. The narrow design means smaller entrance holes and an easier time removing the arrow from the target.

When should you use a judo point?

JUDO® (Grabbing) Points

  1. Are designed for field practice, and used while roving under simulated hunting conditions and selecting targets such as leaves, stumps, or sticks.

How can you best match your arrow to your bow?

Perfect arrow flight can usually be obtained if the balance point on a completed arrow (a fletched arrow with the point attached) is located 10–16% of the distance forward from the center of the arrow toward the point. Arrows that are too lightweight for your bow may cause you to essentially “dry fire” your bow.

What arrow weight should I shoot?

If you want to target practice, you want the arrow to weigh in total (shaft, vanes, insert, nock and field point combined) around 5 to 6 grain per pound of draw weight. So if your bow has 60 lbs. of draw, you want to use arrows that weigh in total between 300 and 360 grain.

Are field points lethal?

They’re super lethal if you can hit them in the brain consistently. I’ve had rabbits run a long way with a field point still stuck through them. Only on gophers and then only because you can pin them in place rather than have them dive, wounded, down their hole.
