Now that I can truely practice with effiency, I am pondering the use of fixed and mechanicals. I seem to get very close groups with both kinds of tips but a question bug was put in my ear this afternoon from my uncle. He asked me that if I can get a fixed to group well, why even think about something that could fail you upon entry? I know that the technology between todays mechanicals and those of the past are like the difference of a tape and a cd, no comparison but I thought I would toss this out and get some varied opinions. By the way I am leaning on the muzzy 100 gr 3 blade, not to be confused with the mx3!
