Charlie P - This is my first season with a longbow, a whole new ballgame and then some.

I still disagree with the general statments made on mechanicals. I believe that the majority of bowhunters couldn't shoot bullet hole paper with their setups. A good number probably have the wrong spined arrows. Its facts guys, that many if not most bowhunters don't play around and tinker with their equipment. Too expensive, too time consuming, aint got the tools etc etc.

A compound has the ability to shoot a pretty good spine range of arrows with big fletch/feathers and mech heads. I bet if people were honest in a poll here, few have paper tuned their setups. Without that, you can bet that without a whole lot of luck their arrows aren't flying as well as they could be. I have seen quite a few threads on broadheads hitting high and to the right or not flying like field points causing problems - folks thats a bow/arow not being tuned, NOT a broadhead problem. Quick fix ? Mechanical heads, am I not right ?
