Default RE: Practice with broadheads or field points?

ORIGINAL: Paul L Mohr

If I know my fixed blade heads hit where I aim them why would I need to practice with them?


Paul
I just take a "better safe......then sorry" approach I guess. I could NEVER go into the woods with an arrow that all I knew of it was it hit where I was aiming 2 months ago. In 2 months I will put thousands of shots through my bow, pick it up and set it down on the ground hundreds of times, probably drop my case at least once......hopefully not drop the bow but can't say I never did that either .......I'm sure it will get stepped on by me or one of my shooting buddies at least once...........and even if none of that happens I know I will have a day or two when I just don't shoot that great and wonder to myself if something needs a tweak.........even though I know it doesn't.

I just could never trust an arrow if the last time I shot it was 2 months ago.

I even keep some dull heads handy all through the year so I can shoot a few arrows after a hunt or at lunch or whenever I feel like it. I just like the feeling of KNOWING I am dead on.........I don't like the thought of hoping nothing has changed in the last 2 months when I get ready to shoot in the woods.

My Stingers are shot and shot and shot right up to the night before season starts...........that night I unpack my fresh blades and I am ready to rock at sunrise...........100% confident that I will hit where I aim because I have been shooting the exact arrows I have in my quiver as soon as 10 hours earlier.
