To say it again, LINING UP THE FLETCH WITH THE BLADES MEANS NOTHING.

To me shooting BH excessively just burns thru targets. I like to get my heads shooting with FP's early in the summer and then put the heads(and the arrows they are on)away. Once in a while shoot em to make sure things are fine. Then once the season is real near, shoot them a final time or2, put in new blades and I am ready to go.

Atlas you brought up a great point about the shooting in t-shirt thing. EVERYONE should shoot several times in the same clothes you will hunt in. This means down to the gloves, mask, and heavy clothes. Yea it's hot shooting in a heavy jacket in august, but it beats missing a big buck on a cold november morning. Also for you treestand hunters, shoot from elevation.
