Default RE: broadhead busted!

In a properly tuned bow, a broadhead will fly relativley close to field points,(this of course varies between different bh's IMO) But if your bow hasnt been properly tuned by someone who knows how tune a bow, then you'll have problems getting them to fly straight.

Next, Never shoot a BH at a living animal that you have practiced with. As this dulls the blades and could result in a wounded unrecovered animal. ALWAYS either:

1. Buy seperate BH's to hunt with/ practice with
2. Replace the blades on the BH's you have if there is no damage to the ferrull its self.
3. You can sharpen blades if possible, Ive never even considered this, but if you know what your doing.....

And one more piece of advice, since you said your new to the bowhunting scheme.... Make sure you can group your arrows in a small circle (I would say no moe than 3 inches)at your maximum yardage that you feel like taking a animal at.
