I posted the Rockets would out penetrate most 3 blade heads.


I also stated that speed is a major factor.I'll bet you are not shooting blazing speeds with those 2 bladers,not to mention you have a rather small cutting diameter so you will see better flight characteristics and penetration than a larger fixed.

I should have stated earlier that a mechanical will be more accurate when all conditions are taken into account.I went back an reread my earlier post and could see where someone might have misunderstood that I was saying a fixed head wouldn't be accurate.


I have done more homework than you can imagine and I will stand by my statements that it isn't possible for a fixed head above 7/8" to be as accurate in ALL CONDITIONS as a GOOD mechanical. Now look at that statement,nowhere did I say that fixed heads would not be accurate.I myself have a bow tuned to shoot the same groups with mechanical or fixed BUT when outside forces are applied,such as wind , torque,and/or speed,the mechanicals have a distinct advantage.


I am not trying to bash fixed in the same way most are trying to bash mechanicals,just posting their advantages and yes,they have advantages.Some more than others.
