I don't and will not agree that any fixed blade head above 7/8" will be as FORGIVING as a field point or mechanical.This is just a physical impossibility.That is not to say you can't get good flight and even groups the same.I,myself have my broaheads and field points shooting the same out to 50 yards.But as soon as I start twisting and turning,which causes torque,the fixed will start to take over.


Try this,take a broadhead tipped arrow and stand at 40 yards and grap the handle and twist the grip a little and shoot and see where it impacts.Then try the same shot with a fieldpoint and I think you will see where I am saying a fixed will not shoot like a field point.Also wind will have much more of an affect on the fixed than a mechanical.Especially for the advanced shooter/hunter that takes shots longer than 40 yards.


Please don't misunderstand my posts.I am not trying to bash fixed or am I saying you can't get them shooting great.It is quite possible and like I said,mine do shoot great,but they are not as forgiving.As a result I will be shooting my Rockets next year.I just like them better and that is what we,as hunters need to be looking for.Something we like and are confident in.

For the record,I used GKF Deadheads this year and they are great heads,but not a field point.
