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.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

with it being so close to the season id probably stick with the mechanicals.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

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.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

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.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

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.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

oh by the way my season opens up saterday thats the main reason why i think i will just stick with wat i am comfortable for now i really appreciate your guys help because i really am rookie.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

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.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

Thanks like i said i am no bow technician so what do you recomend?

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

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.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

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.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

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.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

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.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

Thanks i will look into that my string leech actually broke off yesterday. I shoot mine alot.

[/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.:D [/blockquote]

i personally have bad experiences with mechanicals and fixed blades are my favorites especially the fred bear tips

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

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

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

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.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

I will look into it i have said up for sat. but i will try to work on it next week and if some of you more experienced people could give me tips on paper tuning i would appreciate it i am currently shooting i am currently shooting vapor arrows that say 4000 = 55/70 and by bow is set at 65 pounds does something sound wrong with with that and i shoot 100 grain tips.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

exactly.............

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

make sure the bow is tuned but no reason to go to fixed heads. ive used mechanicals for a long long time with absolutely no issues and of the last ten deer ive shot i only had to track one. there are a lot of bad mechnicals out there and there are just as many bad fixed heads out there. people are so gung-ho against mechanicals its just stupid. just like everything else in archery you have to do research and be smart about it. most people buy cheap massive cut sized mechanicals and wonder why the blade dont open or the arrow only went it alittle maybe its because your trying to push a crappy made head three times the size of most fixed heads through the deer. i sorry for the rant just sick or the mechanical bashing.

RE: mechanical broadheads
 

Nothing wrong with Mechanical's ,there's some real good one's on the market today and they've really come a long way . But yes you need to tune for some fixxed head's ,but if you want to find a fixxed head that will fly ewith your field point's Slick Trick's and Montec's are among the leader's . But at this late date ,I'd say stand pat with what's working for you now .

This close to season use your mechanicals. After your season fix it. If you start messing with it now you might screw it up worst if you dont know what your doing. If your arrows are touching at 20 and 30 yrds thats a good group, I would not mess with it. Im just not a big fan of changing things at the 11th hour. After season fine tune it or have some one help you do it.
