Default RE: Fixed or mechanical broadheads

With today's bow efficiencies and improvements on mechanical heads, there no reason not to anymore.
Exactly the same thing can be said about fixed blade heads.

There are tooooooo many excelent fixed blade heads out there that will fly as good or better than many of the mechanicals on the market.Fixed headsare many times stronger and reliable than a mechanical head could ever be.

The fact is that white tail deer aren't exactly tough to get a broadhead through. The majority of people that are hunting with bows these days can choose either one and be just fine.But remember that regardless of which one you choose the shooter has the responsibility to make sure the bow rig is tuned well and firing the arrows straight. If the arrows are not flying true then penetration, KE, accuracy, will all suffer and may still result in bad shots and lost animals.


Adewide, if you only got 8 spots of blood in 400 yards then that animal was shot through the guts, maybe the liver,and definetly though the lungs/ heart. If your fixed blade heads were flying bad after 20 yards then they weren't leaving the bow flying good to begin with. They don't just decide to start flying bad once they reach a certain distanceThe one deer thatwent 200 yards couldn't have been a good shot either.They just don't run that far after a broadhead cuts through both lungs.
