Expandables are only able to survive on the market because of the tons of people who are unknowingly shooting an untuned bow
Thats not really true -
My bow shoots 285 fps
My field points - muzzy fixed - ultimate steel fixed - thunder head fixed - and my mechanicals - will all hit the same 3" circle at 40 yds.
I choose and continue to choose to hunt with mechanicals - because they DO have some very appealing advantages.
As stated - they are much more forgiving to any form error. Very easy to be a little off in a hunting situation - and when pushing yardages out to 40.
I have had great wounds and very dead deer with all the mechanicals I have used.
They have there place - they are heer to stay.
