I agree on all points, Mez. But it's AS believable a scenario for the guy you mention (shooting the fixed blades) to simply adjust his sights to match his BH POI.
In either instance....the end result is likely the same. Band-aid on a potentially much bigger issue.
Good point.
Very true. I've seen it first hand with an antelope.
125gr Thunderhead shot out of a 70lb duallywith heavy aluminum arrows. The kid hit it on the scapula, the thin part of the shoulder blade, with his set up it should have went right on through. He called me to help him find the goat. We eventually got the antelope. The first arrow penetrated the muscle and only the tip of the broadhead was through the scapula.
I had him shoot the bow in my yard and what do you know, the arrows were sticking in the target at a 45 degree angle in the horizontal plane. He said his FP's and broadheads wouldn't shoot the same so he just sighted in for the broadheads to hunt with.
