A crutch?? I guess is did not realize the choice between mech's and fixed was a status thing. I guess your choice of fixed over mechs make you a better hunter.
My bow may not be well tuned but I will hang my head in shame while consistantly hitting the spot with Mech's
I expect that when my current but ample stock of rockets is gone. I will move up to fixed

Not only does it make me a better hunter, but my hair is full ,my wife is pretty and I have a really nice house too.[:-]

There's always room for you at the top.

3. I hate moving parts, but haven't tried expandables

7. No reason to fix what isn't broken. I've never shot expandables but love the results of my fixed blades.

11. Too expensive.

Slick Tricks fly great and with the newer style, low profile, super strong fixed blade broadheads I really don't see the need for the expandables. No moving parts keeps it simple.
Cool deal, LKN. Thanks for playin.

Shoot me a PM sometime...and come up one Saturday. We'll hit the woods.

One thing I find funny, is the guys who say that they hate moving parts, yet most guys here use compound bows, NEWS FLASH GUYS!! YOUR COMPOUNDS HAVE MOVING PARTS!!!!! I guess you would be better off going hunting with a spear? No moving parts?

Anyone care to explain this to me please?
GMMAT asked about mech broadheads, not compound bows, and i do like moving parts in general that is why i like trucks and working on trucks, but when it comes to BROADHEADS i DONT

Just so we're clear, though, Miller....This was how you answered.....

#'s 3,7,9,12

3. I hate moving parts, but haven't tried expandables
7. No reason to fix what isn't broken. I've never shot expandables but love the results of my fixed blades.
9. No reason.....just like to hate
12. I "heard" they are not dependable (refer to no's 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11)

2% - OK with the OP, but Love Usama and know he hates him
1% - OK with the OP, but hate it when he backs me into a corner an makes me tell the truth
1% - Hate the OP,and hate it when he backs me into a corner and makes me tell the truth
1% - Love the OP and wish he'd married my sister
