I use fixed heads and my son uses mechs. I have no problem with the mechs but I was taught in hunters safety when I was 12 never to trust the safety on a gun. The reason was a safety is a mechanical device and mechanical devices are prone to failure. To me it is just one more thing that can go wrong. I will not stop my son from using them it is his choice. His bow shoots thunderheads the same as field points and is tuned right. It is just what he has confidence in and that is important.

Most mechs today are very good heads and will work fine. If you dig deep enough you will find someone who has had a problem with every head and piece of equipment on the market. Like many on this board have stated a quality head placed in the right spot will drop any deer.
