All too often I hear someone talking about a buck or doe that was wounded during archery season and they can’t figure out why.  Then they say something to the effect of, I was right on him, but my arrow just didn’t fly right.  Eventually, they will confess to not having shot their bow with broadheads at the business end of their arrows until they were actually drawing back on a real live deer.  Pathetic and inexcusable!

Make sure you shoot the practice heads provided in most broadhead packages.  If your broadhead of choice does not supply practice broadheads, fire a real broadhead into a 3D target.  It may dull a little, but nothing a little whetstone action can’t fix.  There is no excuse for entering the woods and not knowing how your hunting broadheads will fly in the heat of the moment.

I plan on shooting my Muzzy broadheads again this fall, but I also bought a package of Rage 2 blades to test out also…practice broadhead included.

One last thing, if you are in the habit of tuning your bow after season in November and then picking up your bow in August and expecting things to be perfectly in sync…you are having a ‘pipe’ dream.  Get your bow freshly tuned 1-3 months before season and see if your broadhead accuracy doesn’t increase dramatically.
