practice tips

Just wondering what people's opinions were on this... I've heard it's best to practice with the broadheads you'll be using for hunting, but I've also had people tell me that as long as I am using the same grain weight, that field points are fine?

I use a few practice arrows with field tips on them and 1 practice arrow with the same broadhead that I hunt with. It's good to see how the arrow flies with a broadhead.

If your shootin mechanicals it shouldnt make a huge difference. I've shot archery league for the last 3 years while goin to school in WI so when your trying to hit the 12 spot (size of a quarter) some guys go so far as to have their arrows tested for inconsistencies in the shafts of the arrows. Lets say you buy a batch of 12 arrows, you'll probly have a couple of them that don't seem to fly quite the same. I've heard the term "floppers". If i'm shootin a fresh batch of arrows, i'll identify these and mark a fletching with a marker. If I keep shootin away from the rest of the group I'll mark them again, and those arrows typically get launched at gophers or something. haha Also, rage sends a practice broadhead with the package that you'll buy so you'll be able to see if your arrows fly a little different in comparison to a field tip. Kinda nice to have the piece of mind as well as a sweet wound channel. Sorry I got a little wordy. Bow huntings what i love.

always shoot a few times with 1 broadhead at different distances...u dont want to be shooting at a deer and find out they fly different

I started bow hunting last year (2009) and have this to add - If you're excited/ nervous it doesn't matter what you practice with. You MUST remain calm. Practice, yes. Relaxing when you have an arrow knocked and a deer in the 10 yard pin is easier said then done. An hey, if you're puffing out your chest cause you don't get excited anymore (cause you're a bow stud) - You're missing the fun!

I highly recommend practicing with the broadheads you'll be shooting. Bows are too fast these days to just assume they'll fly the same as a field tip and they rarely do even if the broadhead company claims they will.

Different size arrows, fletching, and bow setups will fling a broadhead differently. Find the broadhead you want to use and buy enough that you have some for practice and then some brand new ones to hunt with. Don't use heads to hunt with that have been shot into a target they'll be too dull.

I know this post was started a few months back but I'm new to the site and just thought I would get my two cents in. If you are wondering about practicing with broadheads, think about like this. A field point keeps the shaft strait from the tip to the fletching and the fletching affects the flight of the arrow, now add a broadhead....with the exception of the difference in material, you have essentially added fletching to both the front and back of the arrow shaft. That being said, YES!!!!! Practice with broadheads. I might also mention, for those of you that don't already do this, it might be a good idea to match up your individual blades on your broadheads so that they are in line with the fletchings. Happy hunting.

It's good to practice with both tips when shooting archery. You probably want to shoot broadheads during bow season to site in your bow. I would use feild tips for practicing in competitions. We all have different opinions and i hope this one helped you out.
