I'm not really a hunter, I just want to shoot at wood and such for fun. Are there any cheap practice tips I can put on these or do i need broad heads?

You do not need broad heads. In fact, for stump and target shooting, you should not use broad heads. For target and stump shooting get field tips, judo points or blunts, all 3 styles are cheaper than broad heads.

You can buy field tips. Also if you shoot at wood you can destroy the arrow. A target would be your best bet. You can pick one up for around $20.

I wouldn't use broadheads unless shooting game. Most tips are for target hunt. I suggest a 100-150 grain field tip

Pretty tough to cock. I use both hands to do it. I can do it with one, with a lot of effort, but two makes it so much more easy. I sit the butt end on the ground and cock it towards me. Give the tip of the barrel a sharp rap with the palm of your hand to make it break initially. Then cock it. I am 65 years old, but still pretty stout. The manual says about 45 pounds; I believe it. If you are in fair physical condition, you can manage it though. It is as accurate as the shooter. No problem for me out to about 35 yards; beyond that, my shooting skills are not so good. Shoot heavy round nose pellets, and practice, practice, practice! The gun is better than I am. Anyhow, shooting a pellet gun beyond 50 yards is not what it is made for; this is a fairly close range weapon; it's an airgun shooting little pellets, for Christ sakes, not a rifle shooting bullets. That's the fun of it - sneaking up on your quarry and making a quiet killing shot. If you want to shoot something 75 to 100 yards away, use a rifle.

"Flat tips?" It would appear you are mis-interpreting the concept of arrows and bolts. All come with a "flat tip" which has a hole in the middle with threads. Those are for insertion of the arrowhead you intend to shoot. Those arrowheads will have a threaded stem that screws into the "flat tip." Two types of heads are to be used - target and field points or broadheads (the ones with the sharp fins, or blades, for hunting). For target shooting use a target head - usually a rounded or pointed tip. Check with your local sporting goods store to see what they have in stock and get recommendations.

I would recommend if you just want a bow to shoot at target. Not difficult to draw back and aim. I purchased for my 10yr old last year. It's really a beginners bow, not for hunting.

Well I have shot pretty far with mine but farther you go the worse accuracy. If your gonna hunt I'd suggest cold steel product but if wanna shoot targets and tweety bird it's perfect.

Greetings Fellow Bowhunter, I have shot broadheads into the Field Logic Shooter Buck with some success. As with any 3D target of this type it will shorten the life of the vital zone. I wouldn't recommend shooting broadheads frequently but having said that we all know how important it is to shoot your hunting arrows to insure accuracy. If you shoot your broadheads only occasionally into this target I think you will find that it will last a long time. The good news is that the replacement vital is reasonably priced and readily available. Good Luck Hunting!

They make a reaper broad head for crossbows. They recamend a 65# draw weight on a bow. But I only shoot a 60# draw weight. I produce 82 lbs of KE. They have always worked well for me. You should probly get the ones for a crossbow. Just to be safe so they don't open in flight. Go to grimreaperbroadheads.com. you will be able to see the different ones offers the. Hope this helps.Have a safe hunt and good luck to ya.

Try this: shoot at a dirt burm if possible. Watch where the dirt kicks up when you shoot. Make rough adjustment to tune the point of impact the roughly where you are aiming.Now shoot at a paper target and hopefully you will at least be on the paper. Fine tune as needed. This can all be accomplished with minimal shots.

Bow hunting is a fairly technical activity. I recommend lot's of study, training and practice before going hunting. But: No, don't hunt with these.

I don`t know when I shot recurves we all shot instinctive. But if you have bolt holes on that take down for sights it will probably work. But then again with a recurve one pin should do. Sorry I think I didn't help much.

They are a nice size to shoot in all direction. I also zip them up at times, because that are to big, and the deer can see the motion. Make sure shooting rails are at the bottom of the window ripper when you put the blind on the tree stand. I will be hunting with my cross bow this year from the blind. Hope this helps? :)

There are lots of opinions on that. Stick with the same length and weight bolt that comes with it (can't remember exact specs at the moment.) I've shot a few different types of 100 gr. broad heads and all flew with the same degree of accuracy.

I am honestly not too sure. They do have plastic fletchings so they may not be so great on the greater pound bows such as the Vortex.

with a longer bolt and broadhead tips u can probly bring down a deer with a clean shot from close range..but this is mainly for small game...squirrels and rabbits and whatnot

They would work well for stick fighting... my husband uses them for hunting and shotting

I learned with a double bit hatchet. Some promo item i got from the NRA that i didn't mind if it got wrecked, which it did. Anything that will give you more than one surface to stick it with is good because you won't have to chase it as much and soothes your ego because your sticking more than 1/10. SOG makes one designed for throwing. I don't know what the name is even though I have one, but it has this well placed upturned spike that enables it to stick more often than not. It might be called the blue max or the black max. If you can find one, go with that.

They don't come with tips. If you are just shooting for fun (which is why I do it) get the cheapest ones you can find.
