broadhead-practice

[3Feathers]

How many practice shooting broadheads into a sand pile??Going to make one  on a side bank in back of the house.Targets just don,t stand-up to broadheads well,and sand is free.

I will be interested in the replies, been thinking of making one myself.  Tired of buying new blocks every year.

I travel up to our "Town Barn" where all the sand and salt is kept. They let me shoot my broadheads into the sand pile. Doesn't hurt the head and they resharpen quickly. Easy in...easy out.

Pretty neat idea,never would of thought of it. I work for the railroad and we need sand in the engines for traction. I think i'll try to get some.

I shoot a sand bank a lot. Easy arrow removal and impossible to wear out.

I've done it and even built public ranges with 10 and 20 yard sand pits for the public to practice.  

I don't practice much with broadheads because my tuning process brings the field point and broadhead together and I don't need to do it. I could see someone doing it for the fun of it though and certainly it wouldn't hurt.

Wish we could use sand banks here in New England; but our definition of sand here is anything with rocks small enough to lift without a crane ;-)  I have to admit I just don't practice with broadheads much at all beyond making sure they still hit the same place as my field points during the hunting season.

I have done it a few times. Works great when in the field hunting and you don't have a soft target.
