I got some rage the other day. Dont really have a broadhead target unless I want to tear up my morrell target.

Honestly, does EVERYbody shoot their broadheads before you step in the woods ?


My Trail Cam history to save you money:
3 DLC Coverts II=After 3 years 2 still work and in the woods.
1 DLC Covert Extreme TL= Great cam.
1 Covert Reveal
2 Bushnell TC=Both repaired, one of them twice. Less than a year old.

I shoot the practice tips with the mechanicals. When shooting fixed blade, I shot each of them and resharpened.

yes, i shoot them once i have everything setup. I usually do not shoot them over 2-3 times each, just to ensure at different yardages that i am on.

I shot fixed blades, but I shot them all once or twice to make sure they are flying right.

I used to shoot my fixed blades, not that I shoot the rages I don't shoot them. I shot the practice heads and they shoot exactly like my filed tips do. I don't see any need in shooting them unless it is at at animal.

Rages I bought didnt shoot like my field points...neither did Shwackers. I shot Spitfires for years which flew great, and I shoot T3s now and dont have any problems with them. So, yea, I do give them a test run or two.

I shoot the Rage practice tips and one old broadhead just to make sure. Ive never had a expandable of any brand not shot like a field tip.

Nope, done so in the past and never a problem. Feel ok with the same ones.
