RE: What's the point in practicing with field tips?
Starightarrow,
I think I'll still have to disagree with part of what you said. I still say it's not necessary to practice a lot with broadheads. Put them on the arrows, spin them for concentricity, and do all the other homework. Tune the bow for them and practice for a while. Then put them away and check them again right before going hunting (a day or two).
I will agree that many would do well not only to practice some with broadheads but to just practice---period. Getting the bow out of the closet a week before hunting season just doesn't cut it, IMO.
I'll also put in a comment about this being a hunting forum. Yes, it does say Hunting.net, but this subforum is titled "Technical". Now IMO, one of the problems with hunting today is that all forms of hunting have gotten too technical. There is nothing technical about getting a pair of soft soled shoes on and heading for the woods just to learn about nature's wonders. And I've noticed that the more technical hunting has gotten over the years the less fun it has become. Mainly because we modern day warriors have forgotten how to hunt without the use of modern technical gadgets.
