I have been wary of trying mechanicals. I don't know my exact arrow weigh or the exact lbs pull on my bow or the speed of my arrow. I haven't been able to find a pro shop in my area. I bought my bow from E-bay and set it up myself. I don't know anyone that bow hunts and have learned everything I know about archery from the people on this forum. Ya'll must be pretty good because I got my first bow kill this year and this was my first season bow hunting.I don't think I would be compfortable shooting mechanicals because there is just one more thing that can mess up.My broad heads shoot right with my feild tips, and I only will take a broadside or quartering away shot at no more than twenty five yards. My setup would probably handle mechanicals because I shoot one pin from 10-25ft and can put all my arrows inside a three inch circle.The buck I shot this year I used a 100 Gr. thee blade muzzy and it only went twenty yards.
