IMHO, as long as they all fly the same, its all good.
If put into the sweet spot, it wont make a bit of diff.

Yep, usually do, and probably don't have very many arrows with the same fletching color combo either.

I use 2- and 4-blade Zwickey Deltas, 2-blade STOS,  2-blade Abowyer Wapitis, and sometimes 3-blade Woodsman's.  At any given time, I usually have at least two different heads in my quiver, but all the arrows are the same weight, within a few grains, and fly to the same spot.

I always tune my bows with the biggest hardest to get to fly head I have.   What I have found doing this is that all broadheads of the same weight will shoot the same.  So at any given time you may find different heads in my quiver treeshark, big Jim's, abowyer.  Shoot a few to make sure but it has never been a Problem for me.

Depends.  My Kodiak mag is carrying 6 200 Snuffers screwed into some 5575 GT Blems.

My Kodiak Hunter is carrying 6 glued 160 Snuffers on the front of some surewoods.

My Back quiver for my longbow and Widow curve is carrying 5 MA3 3 blades, a eclipse 2 blade, and 2 Snuffers glued on to some surewoods.

Have no particular reason why and I have enough of each to equip each bow completly.  I just like carrying different heads in the back quiver.  God Bless

Yep, three COC broadheads, one field point with an adder behind it, and a flu-flu with a judo.
If you find yourself in a fair fight? Your tactics suck!

Beware of the man with mix matched arrows.  It tells you he's been through a few in his day.

Kinda like the guy with one bow....

You are correct.  I have preferences, but definitely not prejudice.  I like to shoot'em all.

Zwicky, Magnus, WW, Ace, as long as they are all flying the same on my various woods, I'm good to go.

I also have some heads (2), one of which I killed my first deer with, that I don't know the make of. They always fly like darts on any shaft and they're very easy to sharpen.
