Default RE: what is the dislike for mechanicals?

ORIGINAL: TFOX

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.

To each his own obviously, but I'm not buying into that statement however you meant it. Maybe if you're talking about 40-50 yard shots, then I can see a slight advantage. But at normal bow range, inside 30 yards, mechanicals are not more accurate than fixed. I have proven this to myself. They have no advantage for accuracy at all. At 30 yards shooting out of a tree, I can put a mech or a fixed in an apple. With the same bow, nothing changed. Your pins are on or they aren't. You can shoot or you can't. JMO
