Primitive target shooting

[jkyarcher]

I have just started to make some "shootable" rivercane arrows and would like

to start practicing with them to see how they shoot but feel the fore shaft and other
Parts will get mangled or lost in the tough 3d deer targets. What I am wondering is

What is a good material to practice on with primitive arrows?

Broadheads or target points?

[jkyarcher]

Knapped points field points any type really

I use a store bought bag target for field points. Can't help you with broadheads.

  JAYMAN  I shoot my knaped pounts all the time.
 First off if your going to shoot knapped heads. You have to make them barbless. Totally I round my backs or even knaped them straight back into the shafts you there in a v in the back.
 
The easyer it pulls back out the longer it will stay on. No barbs.

  I have made exsceaptable glue and use real sinew. Wet it it dry like iron. My friend crooketarrow shot his head in a pile of sand.

  I just shoot into a white foam bale at the shop with knapped heads. But mainly I just carry a judio on a dogwood shaft. I've never broke a tip on a dogwood shaft. SHOOT ANYTHING.
