Default Practice ?

How many arrows do you fling (on average)when practicing?

What tips (broadhead, etc.) do you use when practicing?

Just wondering

Early off or when tuning up the bow in general I'll shoot FP and maybe up to 100 shots. By now I am shooting only BH and maybe 10 shots per day.

I shoot 2-3 times a weeks, and usually around 30-50 arrows each session. Sometimes, when I just feel like shooting, I'll shoot 2-300 in one day.

i shoot about 20-25 per day.

My broadheads hit the same as field points so i use field points 95% of the time, i see no reason to chew my target up shooting broadheads all the time.

I check my grouping with FP vs. BH about once very week or so just to be sure.

I shoot 50-100 shots per session, maybe 3 to 5 days a week. I practice with target tips. I do not use field tips. I do not practice with broadheads. When season is near, such as now, I shoot some whots with broadheads to see if they are flying true and to confirm the tune of my bow. Then I put them away.

I see no particular reason to be shooting broadheads all the time. It confirms nothing. I know they fly right and that's the end of it.

Practice sessions are just my way of keeping ME tuned. I already know the equipment can do the job. Only thing to keep in tune is my muscles and my mind.
