The archer must make up his mind that he will have lossesin breakage and arrows actually lost. Unless his purse has nobottom he had better use wooden arrows as they cost onlyabout one-third as much as aluminum. The choice of woodshould favor Port Orford cedar.
The reason for including the field arrows is, obviously, forpractice in the field. I personally prefer the kind with thescrew type point extension. If a broad head strikes a stump,log or tree, it is necessary to chop it out with an ax; it willprobably be bent or broken anyway. Hunting arrows shouldbe reserved for shooting at game only. The field points weredesigned to take this tough usage. By practicing with the fieldpoints one can have his sight marked for given distances orperfect an instinctive feel so that when broadheads are usedthe sighting need not be changed.
