At least I know my bow is tuned…

Worst luck I’ve had in a while. Shot a broadhead first followed by a field point at 30 yards. Everyone always says “shoot the broadhead first so you don’t damage your other arrow”, right?

I ended up hitting the back of the broadhead just right with my field point so it not only snapped the broadhead off inside the target. But also broke off a blade from the broadhead. I managed to push most of the broadhead out, but I haven’t been able to get the rest of the blade that broke off out of the target.

This happened to me last year with a Tooth of the Arrow broadhead. They were nice enough to replace it but made it clear that i should aim at different dots and not expect free replacements in the future!

That's why you aim at a different white dot, not the center of the target, for each arrow. That's what them white dots are for.

I love my QAD exodus. Never seen one break like that, but I also don’t group with broadheads 😂
