Default RE: What "truly" is the advantage (Mech vs. Fixed)

ORIGINAL: TFOX

I choose mechanicals for forgiveness.


Arrow tune is second only to being accurate to me.Many on this sight will attest to my tuning skills.


I have also shot competitively and won my share of tournaments.


NOW,when I speak of forgiveness,I am talking about things liketaking a shot from a deer stand and leaning out around the tree, that, in most cases will cause TORQUE.We all no what torque can do to an arrow,now add a fixed head on the end and you have a less than forgiving shot.Or shooting at a deer in windy conditions at 30 yards.(yes,a mechanical will be more accurate here,especially over a 2 blade broadhead, shot with any kind of speed)



I can shoot my mechanicals,fixed heads and field points all about the same at 30 yards in my back yard in good conditions,it is when conditions get bad the mechanical has the edge.


There are a few mechanicals that do give others a bad rep ,but most cases are due to poor mechanical selection for the particular setup.


I only use a 1 1/8" cut mechanical that has been putting deer downflawelessly for me.
What type of fletching do you use with the mechanicals?
