Absolutely right!!!
Even most replacement blade broadheads should be tuned up before hunting with them. We've all heard that "razor sharp and ready to hunt with" for so long that many of us just blindly believe it. The problem is that it's rarely true.
We also must practice with the broadheads that we will be hunting with. If not, how do we know if they are going to have the same the point of impact that our field tips do?
At least practice with the same brand, style and weight broadheads that you'll be hunting with, even if you need two sets- one set sharpened and set aside for hunting and the other set for practice.
