For those that think field tips (target points) are a waste of time I ask this. How long is the hunting season in your state and how much do you actually hunt? Venturing an educated guess I'll say a couple months of the year. The rest of the year is what most people call the "off-season".
That's good point, but consider that this is a hunting forum and most guys practice for hunting, not for target competitions. The problem I see, is not guys practicing too much with broadheads, but the reverse. Most guys pop them on a couple days before the season, take a couple practice shots and they're off to the woods. I would suggest a much greater amount of time spent shooting broadheads and to do it a few times throughout the year.
I may only shoot a very small % of my shots at game, but those are the most important shots I take all year - by far! They are also the only ones that count, and preparation is the key. A person doesn't have to practice year-round with broadheads, but it certainly wouldn't hurt anything if they did. One thing for certain, the average hunter doesn't practice with them enough.
