The dependability statement was merely a referece to the accuracy of a mechanical over a fixed.If you hit where you want,then a good,quick kill is eminant.As I have stated many times,a mechanical is more accurate in ALL conditions.I am an accuracy freak and if I can't hit a 1" circle at 30yards
because of the eqipment,then I am dissatisfied with the equipment.I am not wanting something that shoots no better than a 3"-4" group at 30 yards.I want my equipment to be on so if I make a slight bobble I still make a good shot.If the wind picks up,then that 1" group is no longer possible or if you add a little torque to a bow then that broadhead takes over the flight and you will not make as good of a shot as if a mechanical were on the tip.I am not saying that I always shoot 1" groups at 30 yards but my equipment better be capable of doing it.



Yes speed is an important part of the equation,if you shoot a slow setup, then a broadhead may be as accurate as a mechanical in most conditions but as the speed increases,so does the criticalness of the setup.



Also,all fixed heads DO NOT penetrate better than all mechanicals.Some fixed are better than some mechanicals and some mechanicals are better than some fixed.Rocket Steelheads have been proven time and time again to be one of the best penetrating heads,if not the best of the 3 bladed heads,fixed or mechanical.The larger cut heads,fixed or mechanical should not be used by low ke setups,period.Mechanical doesn't really have anything to do with that.Other than the fact that it there are more large cut mechanicals than fixed.The reason for that is accuracy,it is next to impossible to get a 2" fixed head to fly well at any kind of speed for anykind of distance.



So if you like fixed heads then by all means use them,AS I DID THIS YEAR,but when someone ask me why I use or like mechanicals better,I will give an honest answer to the question.
