It's possible for a bow to be in tune, and still have flight problems with fixed blades. Fixed blade broadheads often do not fly like bullet points.... if that is what you're looking for, go to mechanicals.

I used to shoot muzzys and loved them, but I had a similar problem once I switched to carbons. Rather than making adjustments between practice and hunting, I switched to a mechanical.

TheGrim Reapers have some similarities with muzzys, like the trocar (bone crushing) tip, only the Reapers have razors in the tip as well for added penetration, and I can assure you, they fly IDENTICAL tobullet points.

Good luck!
And what happens when you go somewhere that mechanicals are illegal? You'll have to learn how to tune a bow. I'll beat this dead horse again, just 'cause I've been dealing with broadhead tuning issues all week for people and the mechanical "fix" is not an option here. If your fixed blades aren't impacting with your field points, there is some kind of tuning issue.
First of all, I hunt with mechanicals because I truly believe they are superior, and for me, there is no reason to use fixed-blades. But I'm curious toknow, do you honestly believe that fixed-blades always fly "identical" to bullet points on abow that is properly tuned?
