Well when it comes to broadheads you have to practice with what you hunt with.... On two occasions in the 30 yrs I have been shooting a bow, I took the words of others that the broadheads shoot just like field tips... Both times I was using different Rocket Broadheads and both time they weren't hitting just like field tips.... The problem with most Rocket broadheads is you can't practice with them without tearing them up.... I now use Rage Broadheads because not only can you practice with them, the practice heads fly the same.... Lesson learned after hitting a deer a little back with my new bow and found the problem after the fact.... I think the rocket broadheads do a little false advertising they don't fly like a field point. learned that lesson the hard way this year 
I bet I haven't shot a fieldpoint in over twenty years...

I was thinking along the same lines, that I shoot broadheads exclusively anymore. I have one broadhead from the pack that is designated as my "practice" head, and when I get my bow tuned to it, and the arrow that it's on, that's what I practice with. Then, when in the stand I'll have the same arrow, with a new broad head on it, razor sharp and ready to go.
