First, thanks for all the info. As a new member of this site, I' ve learned more about broadhead selection in this single thread than in all my visits to many quality archery shops. You guys are a knowledgeable bunch!
For any of you who are looking to calculate KE, you can download the shaft selector program from
www.eastonarchery.com . It includes a nifty KE calculator.
My biggest lesson learned from this discussion? If it ain' t broke don' t fix it! I switched to mechanicals in hopes of extending my range to 30 yards or beyond. Fact is, I' ve never taken a shot beyond 22 or 23 yards, and see no reason to do so now. My fixed heads group fine at those ranges, and their effectiveness has been outstanding.
Thanks again,
Bob
