mechanical broadheads
 
I personaly shoot mechanical because that was what i started with, well i heard so many bad things about i decided to buy i middle of the line set of fixed and they were all over the place they were always at least 2 inches away from where i was aiming, so my question is do think i should stick my mechanicals since they fly so much better? By the thanks everbody for reminding to shoot my broadheads before the season i cant convince my friends to do it they think they all fly the same.

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

rookie, what the fixed blade broadheads did was tell you, you have a problem. It's either a problem with your bow not being tuned, your arrows being wrong for your bow, your arrows not being tuned or there is an issue with your shooting.

My question to you then, Why on Earth would you not want to fix your problem?

Sticking with the mechanicals is just masking the issue, sure they might hit where your field points are but they are not hitting there to the best of their ability, ie arrow travel.

ROOKIE-These are very wise words.You need to see whats going on with you(grip) or the tuning of your bow or your arrow spline.

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.

Certain fixed blade heads tend to fly better in some bows than others. Try the G5 Montec or the Slick Trick. And just because your bow was "professionally" set up by a pro shop doesn't mean it's tuned. It's kind of like bore sighting a rifle - they try to get you close, but no guarantees.

You want to go with your mechanicals, so do so. Nothing wrong with taking the safest and most confidence building path to harvesting deer.
Good luck.
