For the past 12 years, I have been using the same bow, and haveusually not had a complete pass-through, unless the hit was just right. I had been using heavy fixed bladed broadheads, near cut on contact, thunderheads, since they seem to have better penetration than mechanical heads.

But this week, I purchased a new Switchback XT, which is must faster than my previous bow, soI'mdebating on switchingto mechanicals. Many because I hunt in wide open areas, with few trees where the wind is blowing 15-40mph on a normal day,and I would assume mechanicals would have less arrow drift. Any many of the shots are in the 40 yard range.

My 2 questions, is how much arrow drift and penetration differences would 2 comparible Fixed and Mechanical Broadheads have? I know the question depends on a lot of factors, but I'm looking to see if any of your archery tech's have any information, or any other reports I can read on it. Just trying to see whether Mechanicals are really worth the switch. Thanks for the info.
