I have shot judo points,,and they really work well on saving a carbon arrow. I have a G 5 small game point 100g. It has a bent point on it that I had to straighten,,and for the price would go back to judos. Then again, I have used a field point with a washer behind it that works fine,,and if you want to use this,,just dull the point a bit with a file and shoot away and your good to go on small game. Only thing about small game is be prepared to loose a few arrows unless the wirey judo points are being used. They have some spring to them.

Yes, I shoot Gold Tip Laser II's with a 110 grain insert, so with the 100 grain Judo I have more than half my weight at the tip - certainly helps "pull" itself through whatever it hits.

And when those "damn rats" won't leave the feed pile alone, they have to go... :wink:

Rubber blunts for squirrel, grouse, and rabbit with the Exomax. Judo points pass right through too often.

Think mine are made from some form of plastic, fronts about the diameter of a nickel w/ little points on the face, then they taper back to shaft size in about 2" weigh 100 gr.

The rocks tear up anything else I've tried.

As far as durability and longevity go Varmit Busters (VB's)have proved to be the toughest for me over the last few years, simple design, can change tip weight, and cheap. I usually buy all my broadheads from the US, but these Aussie blunts saved me a lot of money from losing arrows in the ground, and from damaged blunts etc.
I've used the saunders 125 &150, judo's, rubber ones etc, of which all worked, but none lasted too long. Vb's last until you do a bad shot and lose an arrow. If you hit a rock and bend the cross, it can be smacked flat with a hammer and used again.
