Mechanicals...How do you practice with them?
I decided I would give the Rocky Mt. Snyper a try this season and was wondering one thing.. Those of you who shoot mechs. How do you practice with them? I shoot them, but of course the blades open and the rubberband is wasted and I have to either put a new one on, or what I did, tie the blades up with dental floss.
I realize I really don't need to shoot them too much more as they are already responsible to busting one arrow, and shaving another pretty deep, but I was wondering if there were any secrets out there to do with them.

Dental floss does work good but I always super glue mine shut. I figure if it's been through a target 30 times then I'm not gonna shoot something that dull and mangled at a deer so why not, it's not good for anything else.

Dental Floss is the way to go, but if you're looking for a similar head that doesn't use o-rings or band, try to Gator XP. Basic design is the same as Snyper, no band and bigger cutting diameter. Flies true with field points from my test.

I don't pratice with them. When I tuned the bow I shoot broadheads. When I am satisfied with the point of impact with the broadheads I don't shoot them anymore. Just the field tips. Just before season starts I'll shoot the broadheads a couple of times just for confidence.
all pratice is done with my field points. That is the reason I took the time to tune the bow in the first place. I want good arrow flight with all the arrows I shoot reguardless of what is screwed onto the end of it.
