    So when do you make the switch from field points to broad heads

    My archery elk season opens this Friday. I tuned and sighted in 6 broad head arrows about two weekends ago. Broad head arrows do not get touched unless hunting, only carry 3 at a time in my quiver. I practice with field points on arrows out of the same dozen.

    When I hunt sometime in October, I have zero need to put a broad head in my target.

    I’ll shoot sets of 3 arrows, first arrow broadhead followed by 2 field points. I’ll do this a handful of times then switch back to all field points so I don’t beat the target up too bad.

    Not a bad idea. By this time, I don't throw that many a day.

    I only shoot broadheads. I have not shot field points for years. Targets are not that expensive and I don't shoot enough to tear them up very often.
