Can I shoot this thing with a broadhead? Will I be able to get it out? The target seems to be filled with sheets of cardboard wrapped in a plastic bag with some cotton stuffing in between the sheets. I am don't want to have a broadhead lodged in my target messing up my arrows from now on.
Second question:
I am thinking about changing broadheads. Right now I am shooting Cabela's brand fixed broadheads with replaceable blades, and the blades don't seem like they are held securely enough for my tastes. I am thinking about moving to a one-piece fixed broadhead such as this: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...d=cat20059&rid=
Is there anyway I can ensure that the arrow flies very similar to my field points? I have read that you can tune your bow to do this, but I am not that good at tuning it.
So I need an entirely different target to shoot broadheads?
Yes you do need a different target for broadheads. There are several out there. You need to make sure you select one that'll stop your arrow. If you shoot a high speed/high kenetic energy bow you need a more dense target than if you shoot 50 pounds low K.E. Some hold up better than others. That said, NONE of the broadhead targets I've bought will hold up to a lot of shooting. I tune my bow and arrows and then my broadheads. Once they're tuned I shoot them to put the best first and in my quiver and I really don't shoot the broadheads after that. If they're flying true there's no need to beat the arrows or the heads up. Good practice and form are better than shooting a ton of broadheads once they're set. Even so, most broadhead targets are only really good for a couple years or 3. Expect to spend around $100 for a broadhead target.
