    I use NAP Thunderhead for everything, it shoots to the same poi as my field points.
    Get yourself a good target or make one to practice with the blades. But whatever heads you end up with keep them sharp as a razor.

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    Don't you just tie the rope to one end of the stick, bend the stick around your knee and tie the rope to the other end Sean?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    grab a length of rope, splice eyes into both ends, stringer made. Eyeometer for length, usually its close enough to work.
    Failing that they are only a few dollars of Tardme etc
