If this has been asked before, I apologize - I did a search and could not find a thread.
For the archers out there - when do you switch from field points to a practice broadhead?
Part of my tuning process is broadhead tuning to make my field points and broadheads hit at the same point. I do this during initial set up and during periodic tuning checks and right before season. Other than that, I practice with field points because if they shoot the same as broadheads, then I see no point in shooting the broadheads much.
I find that if bareshafts and fletched shafts both have perfect tears and my bareshafts and fletched hit at the same point at 20 yards, then my broadheads and field points hit the same out to 40 yards. If they do not, then I microadjust my rest until they do. I then go back and recheck my paper tears and bareshaft groups at 20 yards. If they are the same or even better, then I am happy and assume that the 40 yard tweak actually improved the bow tune.
