Target Shooting

Glenn R.:
Ditto, I alaways shoot my hunting arrows to make sure they're tuned, then I sharpen them. I have spare arrows with broadheads the same weight that I use strictly for practice. 2 months prior to hunting season you'll never catch me shooting a field point--Broadheads only!--- They will show flaws in your form that field point will not. Use hay round bales for practice and if using homemade tradepoints make sure they have a swept back angle like Zwickey eskimo's.

costicaldad:
i test all arrows i make by shooting at a cardboerd target with sawdust backing i have a sawmill up the road but you can get sawdust from hardwear stores they are normaly happy to give it to you so they dont have to get rid of it

hawkbow:
I practice with broadheads exclusively. This ensures that I am confident with my equipment before the hunt. I also sharpen my points just before I plan on using them . Hunting with a back quiver can dull the points just by having them bouncing around in the quiver on the way to the hunting area. I believe the key to being successful is practice, practice ,practice, sharp points and shot placement.practice with what you are going to hunt with. Mike

huntertrapper:
i put some sheepskin in my back quiver to quiet them and keep them sharper
