I shoot broadheads only. I practice with what I hunt with, that simple. I use three Muzzy's (three blade) for practice only andbrand new ones for the hunt. :)

Use the practice blades. If you are leary about doing that, and want to practice with the same setup as when you hunt, buy some more replacement blades and have one set for practice and one for hunting. There is no point in resharpening replacable blade heads...just buy new blades.

just once in a target will dull it a little i like mine brand new for hunting . once i use it .it is a practice arrow The blades can oxidize and loose there edge sitting in the quiver so you might want to sharpen or replace heads that didn't get shot for next season

Bob, I couldn't agree more ..... the foam in quivers WILL dull your heads ... Like you said, oxidation will roughen up the edges ... I truly believe that alot of deer that aren't recovered after being shot, would have had been found if the head was scary sharp .... but that's me ...

I have one set 4 target shooting & another set for hunting. But anytime I shoot one of the hunting ones, I replace the blades. They're relatively inexpensive.

I have separate heads for practice and for hunting. I touch up all of my hunting blades if they have been sitting around for a while.

Why would you change a blade that has never been shot?
Corrosion, wear (in and out of the quiver) and abuse (banging around, depending on your quiver) all act on them. Test an unshot blade from last year against a new one and I think you'll see a difference.
