Judo tip, Blunt tip, Small Game Head?

Just wondered how many of you carry some type of non-broadhead tip in your quiver? If not, I highly recommend it. It is a great way to make sure you stay accurate from your treestand. After a morning hunt I usually take my small game head out and fire it out at the base of a tree or a stump. It is just a great way to make sure your sight did not get bumped and make sure you have no problems while shooting with all your hunting clothes on in a realistic hunting situation. You can usually pick them up for about $5 and they are well worth the investment!

I love shooting small game heads are squirrels. Now that right there will show you how your shooting at a small target. But I don't carry them in my quiver while on a hunt. I do however shoot before a walk into the stand to make sure everything on my bow is right if I have the time. Also when my bow is sighted in completely I wll make small marks on every part that would effect my shot. That way if I am in the stand and see something not lined up I know it needs to be fixed before I take a shot.

I used to have 1 arrow in the quiver that had a field point that I would shoot at a leaf or something eveytime just before climbing down from a morning hunt, but for some reason I haven't been doing it the last couple of seasons. The Guide and I are going to carry a target with us and shoot before going to stand in the evenings this year. It does do your confidence good if you know everythings in order before taking a shot at a deer. And we do take some shots at squirrels from time to time but we didn't connect on any last year. Darn things are fast.

I like to keep an arrow with a field point or an old broadhead on. But its mostly because I like popping a shot at a squirrel if its 11am and I havn't seen any deer moving. Sometimes I get antsy!

I always keep one in my quiver

x2 on that one

Oh yeah, that why I have a quiver that holds a least 5 because at least one is always a field point, small game head or old broadhead. It helps keep you sharp and pass the time.

I always have a field tip in one arrow also.

I personally only carry broadheads in my quiver. If I was able to make a second shot I would be too afraid I would grab the wrong arrow not paying attention as excited as I get. Sometimes I just shoot a regular broad head at a squirrel if they day is real slow. I just try to minimize chances for mistake.
