Yea stick with themech's being this close to your opener. What mech are you using and what AR are you shooting? I have a 35 and love it.

I shoot a 2005 model Ar 31 and nap killzone broadheads i bought for d__ks last year at the end of the season for like 17 bucks. I love my AR aswell smooth fast and quiet. It has a drop away rest and really nice sight that sticks out like 10 inches from the bow.

Rookie, Try a STS string suppessor on your AR you will not believe how quiet it really can be. I put one on mine and the guys I shoot with bought the shop out of them.

[/align]Rookie the bow shop guys can only take you so far. You need to tune your bow and arrow set-up yourself as well. I would start by shooting through paper. I am not good at explanations , so you will want to ask some of these guys how to do it. Rob spoke the plain truith earlier. You need to tune your rig yourself. This will be a great time to learn. Look into it. It willbeworth the time I promise. [/blockquote]

i had everything set up prfessionaly at a bow shop and i am by no means a bow technichan so i am going stick the arrows and set up i have now since i can group three ot four arrows together actually touching eachother at 20-30 yds. I think it may just have a bad brand of broadheads they eastman titanium tri locs.

Classic exsample of what I've always said about mechanicals... Most people shoot them because they cant tune a bow

Rook I now you have heard this already but if your bow is on you should be able to shoot just about anything from it and hit where you were aiming. I have shot 10 different broad heads both fixed and mechs this year and the all hit right where my fp hit. I know it is close to the season but you may want to look into it.

If you are comfortable with mechanicals then stick with them. Don't let someone elses worry affect you. I shoot rage 2 blades myself.
