Default RE: Fixed vs. Mechanical opinions

If you shoot a deer through both lungs then it really dosn' t matter which broadhead you use!

I like fixed better but I have used mechanicals & they will work too. either way I think shot placement is the number 1 factor, a nice tuned setup is next! I have seen some junk mechanicals & some junk fixed & either way both are not as affective as they could or should be.

I think a lot of people get mechanicals because they will hit for them but they still do not get a good tune on the bow & arrow combo. When that arrow hits the target at a funky angel due to a poor tune you get really bad penetration - even with a fixed. I can' t count hopw many times I have seen guys shooting mechanicals about of a poorly tuned bow & then wonder why they lost their deer or had poor penetration.
