Don't get me wrong Rockport I've shot fixed blades for years and I still have a bunch of them (some still in their packages). In fact I had more deer fall within in sight in the woods using a 2 blade Magnus Stinger. They have a great lifetime guarantee too. But the only thing I didn't like was they aren't very strong. You would be practicing with them shooting at a Block type target and all of a sudden they would start to flare off because they got slightly bent. I lost a couple expensive carbon arrows because of this. And I only used brand new ones for hunting.
