TFOX hit on a very good point. Fixed blades can and will shoot as good as field points.

However, like TFOX also pointed out, fixed blades will not be as forgiving to bad form.

Easy for some of us to forget. Every bowhunter out there has not spent the last 20 years shooting 100 arrows plus per day, seven days a week.

I still prefer fixed blades, and since I am one of the dummys who has flung a ridiculous amount of arrows for way more than 20 years, I will continue to use them.

Some of the new mechanicals are pretty darn good though. I guess you just have to use whatever works best for you.
