Sighting in with broadheads

[OldNewbie]

This is my second season bow hunting. Last season I sighted in with field points, and just hoped for the best after putting on broadheads. I did manage to kill the one deer I shot at. However, I resolved this year to 'do it right' and sight in and practice with broadheads before the season. 

I started doing that, and in the last couple of weeks I've ruined a Lumenok but cutting it in half with another broadhead, cut the fletching off of several arrows, embedded one in the pine tree behind the target... you get the picture.. If this keeps up I'll have to buy all new arrows and broadheads just before the season starts.

So my question is: how do you modify your practice/target shooting with broadheads, to avoid tearing up your arrows?  

Do you shoot each arrow at a different spot, and not worry about grouping?  Suggestions?

If the bow is tuned, you can just confirm BHs hit with FP and practice with FP.  If they don't, tuning is required but absent that, shoot individual spots and not groups.  I don't shoot 2 BH at the same spot.  Just asking for damage.

Moog is spot on . 

My BH fly like my FP's , I rotate one practice BH on each of my arrows so I know each arrow is on with BH .

Then  I'll shoot 2 FP and 1 BH shooting the BH 1st .

The thing to do all the time is shoot each arrow at a different spot, however I like to see the groups .

Heck I may go out and shoot now soon as Will and Grace is over.

Seeing 'groups' is pretty cool with bullets, and sometimes with field points. With broadheads it gets expensive pretty quickly. Even with indoor 20 yard competition the goal is to keep all arrows in the bull without hitting the other arrows. Aim small and hit small.

That's why I shoot one BH and it's the first arrow of the group .

I dont have to worry about it since the grim reapers come with practice head. But once i find an arrow that flies best with that ill shoot it once with actual BH on it to make sure theres no difference.
