Why make a broadhead hunting blades and then practice blades so much different? The have a whole different shape, whats the reasoning?

John/pa · 08-22-2010, 03:11 PM

I don't even use the practice blade

Practice blades don't seem to fly like the standard blades. I practice with standard and sharpen / replace as needed

I got a set of practice head for my hellrazors... they are all but destroyed right now. I nicked em up shooting at the same dot and they are just done. Glad it wasnt my killn heads.

Practice blades are designed to have as much surface area as the regular hunting blades but shaped differently to limit target damage and make pulling the heads out easier. On some bows, they may fly different, many they fly the same can be just a minor tuning or arrow setup issue, but I do always advise everyone to sacrifice a set of hunting blades and shoot them before going hunting just to be sure.

IDK ! I went hunting nov. 20 and picked up my practice arrows instead of the sharps ! Wouldnt u know I would get a good shot ! I didnt realize it till I tracked a nice 8 point 300 + yards ! He didnt bleed out to good but he was meat on the table ! Has anyone besides me ever done that ?

You must have hit him pretty good! I wouldn't hesitate to sharpen the practice blades and use them on small game, song dogs and so on.
