what is the dislike for mechanicals?
Because they are
mechanical.
Couldn't have said it better.
....and this:
However, to answer your question, the dislike is because many folks assume that you do not need to tune a bow as well when you shoot mechanicals because they fly with field point accuracy. Totally not true and actually just the opposite.
Well, what's the point then?
A few years ago, I got on the mechanical kick. Bad mistake. It didn't open on contact. Something went wrong with my mechanical broadhead. Why? Because it was mechanical. Anything mechanical has an inherrant nature of breaking down. Not to mention, I rarely take a shot more than 20 yards so what's the advantage of shooting a mechanical? None to me. Thunderheads are deadly accurate at 20 yards and wow do they blast through a deer.
