Instead of shooting my hunting arrow/broadhead for the 1st time when I' m hunting, I usually shoot my arrows/broadheads once each before i go afield.
I' m not sure what you are asking, but I am assuming that you don' t ussually pactice with your hunting arrows, but you do shoot them at least once to make sure everything is OK.
That' s not a bad thing to do and by all means is much better then not shooting them at all. But, actually practicing with them is even better.
Here is an hypothetical example of where that alone may not work. I have a set of 2613 aluminum practice arrows that I have practiced with for a few years. I never hunt with them, just practice. They have gone through 1000' s of shots. Now I buy a dozen brand new 2613s and plan on only using them for hunting. The problem now is the deflection of my practice arrows and my hunting arrows may not and probably are not equal. Shooting my hunting arrows once may or may not show the difference.
