Nawwwwwwww REALLLYYYYYYY What complicates it is more or less false advertisement. High speed compound bows started showing people that they HAD to have perfect tuning to shoot a fixed BH accurately and consistently. Old slow bows didn't show up the improper tuning AS BADLY as a 300+fps bow will. There are still a lot of BH's out there that flat out suck wind (good pun there don't ya think ) no matter how well your bow is tuned. I just experienced too many poor penetrating hits from mechanical BH's to ever trust them.

Criteria for a good broadhead is actually quite simple really.
1: Flies well in a properly tuned bow.
2: SHARP
3: Tough enough to penetrate light bone and not come apart on you.
4: Leave a good wound channel for faster bleedout.

Pretty simple really. Advertising and marketing makes it difficult.
