If you ain't checking them each time then it's just a matter of time when something is going to go wrong with them.
I used fixed for 20 years and checked the BH everytime I nocked my arrow to make sure BH was tight to the arrow and all blades were tight on the ferrule.
You need to check your fixed too, and if you don't think so its plain ignorance
ANNIKA, I always check my equipment before I go hunting. I always check to make sure the broadheads are screwed in tight. I check my bow to make sure my strings are not frayed. Etc... Etc...
The point is that I do not have to check my slick tricks every time I pull them out of the quiver to make sure the blades are still being held in place by the
steel ferrule and
steel ring at the base. It is impossible for them to come apart unless they have been removed from the arrow... Period. Once I put them together and screw them onto my arrows I know they are secure and are ready to be shot unless the entire broadhead has come loose from the arrow.
Not so with the rage. One little bump and the blades come unseated from the rubber o-ring that holds them in place.
