How much do you guys practice with your broadheads versus field points? And does anyone do it their neighborhood backyard? I live in a suburb of Ft. Worth so not big acreage.

Broadhead Practice

I check each arrow with a broadhead at 30yds. All of my arrows are number so I can track them. If they aren’t within 1” of where my field points hit then they are culled and become a target only arrow. Outside of that I don’t shoot my broadheads. I do this each season prior to hunting getting kicked within a week or two.

Shooting fixed blades beyond 20yds is important!
My first season of Bowhunting I thought I was doing great with fixed blades since I only shot them at 20. Well, unfortunately I had a buck come in at 30. It hit 6 inches left and was a full on gut shot and I never recovered that deer.
I didn’t know anything about tuning back then, much less to check outserts for wobble or whether I had the right spine. Now I test fixed out to 60 at least.
Back when I shot slick tricks I had a point in the season where they started hitting 2 inches low. Turns out my strings had stretched 1/8th of an inch after taking the bow out in the rain. Field points were hitting the same.
Test em during the season too!

I shoot BH in my yard to 40. Beyond that, I go to a park and go where people don't go to shoot them. I usually shoot out to 70, and have this done by August 1. Once I know they match field points, I just shoot field points, with a random BH stuck in there every once and a while until I go hunting.
I am sure there is park you can go to nearby. Just know your local laws and ordinances.

I use a stall mat for a back stop just in case.....
