IMHO, as long as they all fly the same, its all good.
If put into the sweet spot, it wont make a bit of diff.

Yep, usually do, and probably don't have very many arrows with the same fletching color combo either.

I use 2- and 4-blade Zwickey Deltas, 2-blade STOS,  2-blade Abowyer Wapitis, and sometimes 3-blade Woodsman's.  At any given time, I usually have at least two different heads in my quiver, but all the arrows are the same weight, within a few grains, and fly to the same spot.

I always tune my bows with the biggest hardest to get to fly head I have.   What I have found doing this is that all broadheads of the same weight will shoot the same.  So at any given time you may find different heads in my quiver treeshark, big Jim's, abowyer.  Shoot a few to make sure but it has never been a Problem for me.

Recently had vpa terminator, abowyer brown bear and some tuffheads in my quiver. They all worked great on african game.Also one blunt for stump shooting.

Depends.  My Kodiak mag is carrying 6 200 Snuffers screwed into some 5575 GT Blems.

My Kodiak Hunter is carrying 6 glued 160 Snuffers on the front of some surewoods.

My Back quiver for my longbow and Widow curve is carrying 5 MA3 3 blades, a eclipse 2 blade, and 2 Snuffers glued on to some surewoods.

Have no particular reason why and I have enough of each to equip each bow completly.  I just like carrying different heads in the back quiver.  God Bless

Beware of the man with mix matched arrows.  It tells you he's been through a few in his day.

Kinda like the guy with one bow....

You are correct.  I have preferences, but definitely not prejudice.  I like to shoot'em all.

Zwicky, Magnus, WW, Ace, as long as they are all flying the same on my various woods, I'm good to go.

I also have some heads (2), one of which I killed my first deer with, that I don't know the make of. They always fly like darts on any shaft and they're very easy to sharpen.

Will be carrying 2 types this year: 3 (if I can resharpen my test head) Abowyer prototypes LW given to me by my brother and BigJim 3 blades.
Both fly well, one has the hiss of death   :)

I have 2 Zwickeys, a Magnus II, and a Bear Razorhead right now in my longbow bowquiver.Those are for close range hogs.
For my selfbow, I have 4 matching trade points on cane shafts.
I always have at least one practice arrow along with a judo or talon point.
