I shoot Slick Tricks and they fly great... It's a fixed head and out of a decently tuned bow will hit like your fp's... But IMO drockw, gave some great advise. Depending on how much time you are going to spend shooting and learning the sport it might be better to start off w/ the mechanical. I am one of those people who has a horror story w/ mechanicals so i'm a fixed blade hunter all the way, although several of the best hunters I know use Rage mechanical
