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
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
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.
