A bag or two of mulch will stop a broadhead.

I've always used wraps on aluminum. At the moment I'm using some without the wraps due to the wrap weight marginally increasing the dynamic spine by virtue of its location at the rear of the arrow. I only mention that because the aluminum arrow requires a bit more prep when gluing feathers directly to the tube.

The wraps sure do make feathers stick so much easier on aluminum; but there is absoulutely no need for the wraps unless you want them.

I use wraps on aluminum and wood. They remove easily with a heat gun which makes refletching a snap. Removing a wrap from a woodie will remove the finish, easily fixable with a rattle can. Much easier option than removing quills from wood, IMO.

What are you using for glue?
Kimsha hot melt or Big Jim's hot melt,  they aren't coming off in a bale I'll say that ....

I shoot mine into the sides of dry creekbanks.  We actually do a broadhead competition between a friend and I shooting leaves and such on the creekbanks.  Great practice.  Just sharpen the broadheads before hunting season.

A 2x4 (cut), a couple of short pieces of 4x4, some nails, and two holes drilled through the 4x4 blocks for the rebar before attaching to the 2x4 base.

I shoot broadheads into a foam cube/octagon just enough to check arrow flight, and then sharpen them. I have used 160 grain STOS Broadheads for that and then shoot 160 grain target tips into regular targets.

Never had a broadhead pull off.

Judo heads are great for small game or stumping. You can melt lead shot into the head to boost weight up.

Sand piles do work, although I have completely buried a broadhead tipped arrow shooting into them.

Best target for broadheads is a nice clean sand pile. Just beware if there are neighborhood stray cats. To them it's a big litter box.  You should just commit a few (3-4) broadheads for practice heads. The sand wears off the paint and dulls them but doesn't bend or break them.

PowWow / Arrow wraps?
Last post by TI_Bowmen - September 03, 2025, 09:02:50 PM
Should I use an arrow wrap when I'm fletching some aluminums? Fletched one up last night quick cause I couldn't take it an wanted to shoot it. I like the way the aluminums shoot.

You need some kind of foam to shoot broadheads into. They will tear a target up pretty quick though. I shoot mine enough to make sure they are flying good, then sharpen them and save them for hunting. I then shoot matching arrow with field points or blunts/judo for practice,
Round bales will eat your arrows. If you shoot them from the end your arrows will disappear and if you shoot from the side you can pull a broadhead tippee arrow back out.
