Chief, I would go to a pro shop and get your bow looked at. They can tell you the draw wt, and see how it fits you. This is a great site for info but the best thing is to try things yourself. I've shoot mechs but have shot fixed also and have gotten good flight with both. My experience has been the fixed will magnify problems such as bad form or bow out of tune. Don't get upset or quit asking questions. You should be familiar with some things before trying to take an animal. I would never shoot at an animal with any broadhead, or any firearm for that matter, without having shot it enough times to know what its characteristics were, not by what someone told me - even my best friends. Good luck and good shooting.
