RE: shooting the small stuff
I'd rather hunt small game than anything else. For rabbits and squirrels, I use judo points, take only head shots and have used longbows, recurves, selfbows and compounds from 40 pounds up to 120 pounds (I had a stupid fatal attraction with heavy draw weights about 20 years ago). Really, a 40 pounder kills small game just as dead as those mongo bows did.
On larger stuff, like jackrabbit size and bigger, I use broadheads. Zwickey makes a gizmo that's wire fingers like on their judo points that fit behind the broadhead, hang up on the hide and slide up the shaft when the arrow hits to keep the arrow inside the critter. Think it's called a Grappler...?
Snaro points are great for mourning dove and quail.

I take my recurve out for squirrel and rabbit a couple of times each year.I use Magnus small-game heads.It's a metal blunt that has a bleeder-blade type insert.Very devastating!

RE: shooting the small stuff
i hunt squirrels a lot. I shoot field points with "adders" behind them ( I think that's the name). Star shaped gizmos that go on behind the field point. work really good. I am fortunate in that I have a hillside to shoot at, and my arrows stick straight out the side of the hill, making them easier to find
