A topic close to my heart this "mech vs fixed" debate.

As I recently posted on another forum, in my experience, I always hear moreabout people switching to, or going back to a fixed because they "had a bad experience" with some mechanical. Almost never do you hear about somone upset with the performance of a properly tuned rig shooting fixed blades.

Folks, I don't really care how hot your bow is, how much speed your getting, the ranges that you may normallyshoot,etc. Any mechanical, of any design is going to need some amount of kinetic energy with which to deploy its blades. Swing forward, swing back, it don't matter, it needs energy to trip and WILL NOT start cutting until that need is satisfied. If you're a bowhunter thatALWAYS gets the perfect shot, clean release, not a speck of anything between you and the deer... God bless. IMHO the rest of us, especially me, do not have any kinetics to spare thank you very much. I need every bit of available energy to send that arrow through whatever my talent (or lack of it) and the good Lord puts in front of it. Tried mechs when they first came out. Their not much different now then they were then. Every once in awhile, we have to just admit that there is nothing new under the sun andthatkilling deer and other game is, as it always has been- letting the warm air out, and the cold air in.
