I've been tuning up with field points and getting pretty good. But admittedly it's my backyard and not field conditions. I'll be hunting mule deer for the first time (with a bow) this next season. Excellent opportunity for a 20 yard shot where I'm hunting. How important is it to practice with fixed or mechanical broadheads prior to hunting? What should I expect as far as differences with field point shooting?
And....looking for recommendations on whether fixed blade or mechanical preferred.....
