A tuned bow is a tuned bow, doesn't matter if you're doing 5 or 500fps. The only problem with fixed heads(and actually not a problem with the heads themselves) is the fact that those who have trouble corrrectly setting up/ tuning a bow will have even more trouble with them at higher speeds. Another issue is that many will choose a underspined arrow to gain that speed, and a fixed blade head will magnify this fault and people wonder why they cannot get them to tune so simply blame the head. Remember that to get 290 out of a hunting bow you are generating some serious draw force, so a super light arrow will not always be the optimal choice due to it's lighter spine--I personally do not draw heavy poundage anymore or shoot super light arrows for hunting-- nor do I care what the arrow does thru a chrono when it comes to hunting. All I care about is that it goes exactly where it is supposed to,(quietly!) and does it without fishtailing or planing out for 20 yds before it recovers from paradox, because if it is carrying a fixed blade head on the end of it and it does this-- well, forget it, you are not going to hit anything anyway. Choose the correct arrow, pull what is comfortable for you, choose a reputable tried-and-true fixed blade broadhead, tune them to perfection, and go hunting. Put the chrono away until the next "fastest bow contest" comes around. JMHO Pinwheel 12
