Yes. Just so you are confident with them. Nothing worse than having that question in the back of your head when bowhunting.
Just get some replacement blades or sharpen them when you are done practicing. I have some damaged blades that I keep for practice and shoot them fairly often for piece of mind.
Roskoe, I agree 100% with Johnnyd on this one. This is exactly what I do. The first few ST's I purchased I shot as is just to see. Then I kept those blades to test any new ST's with. These heads are top notch. The only down side to them, just as with any four blade head, is they are rough on targets and more difficult to remove from targets. But they shoot so darn good there is no reason for me to shoot them any more than once each.
