I shoot fixed as well and here is why. It isn't hard at all to align fixed blade broad heads. Once that is done you can get some amazing pin point accuracy. With fixed blade there is little to go wrong with them. Same thing with extreme hunters and their rifle of choice. 99.9% would choose a bolt action because of the minimal moving parts to break down in opposed to say a semi auto. And when it comes down to the shot, you don't want anything to go wrong. With fixed I am like this, with a mechanical there is that chance factor that I don't want to chance.
