For you who practice with their broadheads like I do before season i was wondering how you practice with mechanicals? With fixed blades a just buy extra blades no problem. but for mechanicals i cant seem to find any extra blades so i dont know what to do. How do you guys do it? thanks for the help. Jake

What kind are you shooting? I have found replacements for most of the ones I buy. You might check on ebay. I usually take dental floss and wrap around the blades so they don't open. I will also tape a piece of paper to the back of my block so I can tell if they actually opened or not (w/o dental floss). Alot of times they will open but close back when the arrow stops.

No problem finding replacements for my Rocky Mountain Snypers at my local bowshop (Thank you Bladerunners Archery in Winston-Salem, NC!!!!!!).

just wrap the blade in electrical tape, or as previously stated, dental floss

JoshKeller has it right.

i shoot the pro series spitfires and they have replacement blades so i just shoot. i only use one for practicing though.

If you have a problem finding replacement blades.....I would
switch to a different mechanical. I shoot Rocket Steelhead 100's
and have no problems finding extra blades.

I like the idea of using dental floss, though I've used the wire
off of a 'bread tie" in the past.
