yep, id agree...more broadheads...i like to practice with atleast 3...and have atleast 6 fresh ones for hunting...then again, im the guy that just rather have more than ever running into the problem of not having enough...

but, for now, being the offseason, 3 will get you shooting...come a little bit closer to hunting you can add more...
