Default Practicing with broadheads

Howdy! Sorry for the noobish question but I have some Montec G5s and I was wondering how dull they would be after shooting them a couple times (given they fly well and I dont have to drastically retune). Will they need sharpening or will they still be good to hunt with? Also will shooting them change the way they fly? Oh, Ill be shooting into a layered foam target.
I thought I saw some practice tips they make but I dont want to spend another 20-30 bucks on practice tips if i dont have to.
Thanks for the help!

Sharpen them after shooting or before hunting.

you should sharpen them, they should fly the same as a field point

i usually use 1 head for practice and the rest for hunting. but seeing as how i have 9 heads this year, i just may use 2 or 3 for practice..saves me some walkin to the target lol...

id never take a dull/shot broadhead hunting. sharper the better....and shooting it once will dull it for sure...

I love Montecs. But even right out of the package they need a bit of TLC if you ask me. I'm a stickler for sharpness in a broadhead.

The Pre-Seasons are nice if you want to spend the money, but you can just use one of your regular heads. Just resharpen it. Won't change how it flies at all.
