I shoot mechanicals because of the 2" cutting diameter they offer, as well as the extended accuracy I feel they offer on those 40-50 yard shots. In my experience with fixed heads which is fairly extensive I have seen even with a perfectly tunedbow that they are not as consistent at those long distances for what I consider acceptable accuracy.
Oh but my friend how I disagree with that statement. I suppose it comes down to how experienced or how much actual time you put into a bow/arrow combo. When I went on my elk hunt, I was drilling the 12 ring of a MeKenzie Elk out to 75 yards with every arrow tipped with a Muzzy. I couldn't possibly shoot groups at 40 and 50 yards for fear of shaving vanes and ruining arrows.
Just last week I threw a couple Muzzy's on my ACC's for the first time out of my Bowtech. The were dead on, slightly high (nothing a sight move wouldn't fix) and they were that way, the exact same spot out to 50 yards. I can get these broadheads to fly as accurately out to these long ranges as I can my field points. Now mind you, I haven't even tried to do it with any other fixed blade head other than Muzzy in over 10 plus years.
