RE: What "truly" is the advantage (Mech vs. Fixed)
well, personally, i shoot a mathews set at 72 lbs. and have shot out to 30 yards at deer and have never had an arrow not pass through. i am sure that if i tuned my bow, i could shoot my bow with anybroadhead accurately.
i shoot mechanicals because it is simply easier and i dont have to worry about the planing of the broadheads. my mechanicals shoot exactly the same as my field points. so when i go to shoot on the weekends wit my friend, my field points hit the mckensie hit the same spot that my mechanicals would. i have never had one not open or cause a deflection when shooting on an angle.
