If not, explain to me how a broadhead can perform well with 20 shots on one day and then produce errant shots the very next day?? The broadhead/arrow/insert combination didn't change, your bow set-up remained constant, nobody played with your target...

I guess that only leaves human error...<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

If I could explain why we would not be here discussing this would we??

First of all like I said before the heads have NEVER given me groups as nice as field points. NEVER. However, I accepted the increased group size as part of the fixed head game and lowered my effective range accordingly. Increased group size is one thing.....random misses of up to 2 feet is a whole other ballgame.

All this plus a head that bent like a pretzel in dirt and a small tree root was just too much for me.......Man you act like I am lying or something.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>And yes, broadheads will show form error much moreso than fieldpoints. Changing your anchor point might make a fieldpoint miss the mark by 4"---that same miss might equal a foot with a broadhead.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

I don't want anything in my quiver that has the potential to miss by a foot or more due to a slight change in form. I don't know about you but shooting from a treestand 20 feet up in wind and snow at an animal that just walked out of the last place you thought he would does not always leave you 10 minutes to make sure your in Olympic caliber form before the shot. If I miss my anchor point just slightly I don't expect to have disasterous results.......gross, major errors OK but tiny nit picking micro flaws......come on.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>And a final question---if you were so unhappy with these BHs target shooting before the season started, then why did they accompany you to the woods for hunting purposes?

In a nutshell, are you positive you don't have any form flaws, and why would you take a chance with these heads if they performed so poorly prior to the season???<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Because all I got was info like you're offering.......It must be you......fixed heads fly different......fix your bow tune......must be bad form......fixed heads magnify bad form blah, blah, blah, blah.

I think I actually became convinced that I was shooting as well as you could shoot a fixed head and I just had to hope I had PERFECT god-like form at the moment of truth. I was willing to accept that because I stubornly kept blaming myself while in the back of mind I always felt I was not to blame.........the damaged head was the kick in the butt I needed.......We will see what happens next.

I bought a pack of WASP mechanicals and some Thunderheads. I will soon know for sure what is the source of this situation.
