How do I justify it?
When you think about it, it isn't our $1,200 bow, it isn't our $600 scent lok clothing, it isn't the $300 trail cam, its the arrow and broadhead that get the job done. Out of all of our equipment, the only part that ever comes into contact with a live animal is the arrow and broadhead.
I spend as much as I can afford to to ensure that I have the most lethal set-up I can afford.

some guys have expensive girlfriends, some guys tune their cars, some guys have a playstation and millions fo games, we have a bow that's tuned to it's full capacity to kill and we go out in to nature's forests trying to blend in.
I think it's with all sports, the better you get the more you want your equipment to perform !

Search around on the net, you can find end of season sales and get great deals on broadheads. I bought2 packs of NAP Spitfire XP's for $24.99 last January. Shipping was $5...so I saved nearly $40 in the long run. I use 1 pack for practice, and the other pack for hunting.

I'm constantly amazed by folks complaining about b-head prices! Possibly, THE most important accessory you use so WHY in the world wouldn't you want to have the highest quality product you can get ??? Also, how many b-heads wouldyou ever possibly shoot in any given season so price shouldn't be that much of an issue?

I get upset now with bh prices because I see the $20 bh's I used in the late 90's selling for over $30 now!
It makes no sense to me. There is a magnitude of inflation to consider but not 50% of the original price.

I really don't spend that much onbowhunting compared to most guys. Maybe 100 dollars on broadheads and a half dozen arrows. I have shot a reflex extreme for 10 yrs. now, and wouldn't trade it for a brand new bow. Now on my rifles and shotguns, that's a different story!

I've spent $90 on broadheads so far this year.
I've spent close to $300 on new arrows.
