Need to break-in arrows?
Maybe it's a bad choice of words, but do you break-in all of your arrows? I just got a set of 6 last year and used four for practice and left two alone. These are the two that I used in the feild and took deer with.
Is this a bad practice or should all arrows be shot equally? My main thing is that I didn't want to damage them so I left two alone. Is this a bad paractice?

I like to shoot all of mine but do have what I consider my hunting set. They get shot a lot less. I will usually spin test em all and pick my best for my hunting arrows. Then I tweak those arrows (my hunting set) by shooting them and checking clearance, fletching alignment and make sure they fly well and are accurate. I wouldn't have confidence in an arrow I've never shot. After I've done this hunting tune I change the blades, re-spin them and touch up the tip with a diamond file. I'm really particular about what goes in my quiver and my little system just gives me 100% confidence in what is in there.
