I just purchased a Glendel full rut buck. When practicing do you guys use broadheads or field tips?

I try to practice with BH's as much as possible now. However, I live in an apartment so I had to shoot my BH's at dealership pretty far away andcan onlyshoot field tips most of the time.

always practice with what you will be using in the woods or as best you can...When I shoot I put on clothes similar to what I will be wearing in the woods it all helps when the time comes...

Same answer as Dave,

I wish I could shoot bh more often, but can't (or won't) in my neighborhood.

My bh's are shooting incredible so I'm not too worried, but with the wrong bh, spine, tuning, etc.
you can shoot very differently with bh (like me last year [:@]), so I would try to get in as much
practice as you can with your bhs.

once i broadhead tune and got them flying where i want them, i continue to shoot fieldpoints. i do shoot my broadheads pretty often...but once they are hitting with my fieldpoints i dont see the need to keep shooting...i know they hit the same place as my fieldpoints and check that out to the extent of my ranges..after that i just shoot them a couple times each session...just to make sure. once the season is in thats all i will shoot though...i usually shoot every Sunday since i cant hunt on Sundays...and a couple days between hunts or whatever. i broadhead tuned my bow in august last year and come april i was shooting them and they were still flying true. so long as nothing changes(which is why i shoot them occassionally) they will hit true...

maybe i get lucky and get good flying broadheads...but i spend the time tuning and adjusting to get them grouping well and grouping with my FPs...spent a good part of the day doing that actually....now i just have to shoot them out to 40yds to make sure...then it'll be mostly FPs with some broadheads mixed in...

when shooting from the stands i only use broadheads...
