I assume you mean so you can hunt with confidence right?
then the answer is: defiantly shoot a few to know. you may need to adjust your speed ring but to adjust and go hunt with out shooting is asking for it. JMHO

Agreed. General rule: Anytime you change anything, check your POI.
Anytime you use a new broadhead, check your POI.
You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Shooting paper is one thing, but I wouldn't dare shoot an animal without checking my zero on a target first.
