I'm not anti mechanical. Shoot whatever makes you happy. I do own a box of Spitfires that I haven't tried yet. I probably will someday though. As of now I'll stick to my fixed.

Valor nobodies sticking up for mechs because of the poll set by GMMAT!!!! It is not a why I like mechs but a why I don'tshoot mechs and why. You saying because we shoot to far and tuning issues is kinda like sayingyou only shoot a compound because you like to shoot to far if not you should shoot a recurve because then you have to be really close?? I am only lecturing because you are telling uswhy YOU believe others shoot mechs not why you don't like mechs!! It was a simple poll with answers that would fall in line for most every answer, if you love fixed great but don't go on and tell us why I or we choose them or anybody else!! Walt

Wow, about the only thing I learned from this post is that way too many people are too concerned about other peoples equipment than their own!
Here are two questions to ask yourself....
1. Why am I concerned about what broadhead style somebody across the country uses?
2.How is somebody shooting a different style broadhead several states away from me going to affect myhunt?

X3...
Thank God explosive heads are illegal in Colorado. Can you image the wrath and switching I would receive from BawanaJ if I blew do-do up? It would sure save time with the meat processing...
I think I'll try to find a tree somewhere. Can't see the forest...that's a good one!

Maybe you should read posts before making replies. I believe I said MANY, not all, so I didn't throw everybody into the same boat. For somebody that tunes their equipment, or has it tuned regularily, and is a good shot, reallydoesn't matter what they shoot, now does it? But again, not one person has posteda reply stating why they feel a mechanical head is BETTER, or has an ADVANTAGE over a fixed head, inside 30 yards. You got one for me mouthpiece? I don't mind criticism for a post or opinion, but you can shove your arrogant lecturing. Another thing, I have shot mechanicals. Killed a small deer with a 75gr Rocket Miniblaster, and a decent size buckwith a 100gr Wasp Jackhammer SST. In both cases, the exit hole was was big, but the entrance wound lookd like a field point went into the deer. Both double lung shots. Tried two, that was enough.
Good post GMMAT, I always wondered why some are haters and valor really shows true colors. I have hunted for 33 years now and I have107 deer kills 88 by bow andonly 7 that I have lost and all 7 came from fixedblades,should I throw all that shoot fixed blades underwagon?? No it was me. Valor Ihave shot mech's for the last 6 years now and have killed a book buck all six and under 20 yards so why throw all that shot mech's in the same boat? ignorence!!! If you would like to shoot some time bring it on and I will let you pick the broadhead we shoot fixed size two blade three blade mech's you pick because some of us idots that shoot mech's can tune a bow.. If you want to know why I choose to shoot mech's is because I don't care who you are trying to fool but if you are telling me that at 12 yards you will never miss I will step up and call you the liar you are. When you are staring down a 160 or 180 class buck sh#t happens and when it does I want that big ole hole punched into that buck becauseNOBODY puts the perfect shot everytime and I mean NOBODY!! Just my two cents, if you want to shoot fixed for your own reasons great but don't go and put everyone in the same boat with shooting farther and can't tune a bow.. Sorry GMMAT I can't vote because I love mech's but if I had to pick a fixed blade for your vote it would be a thunder head shot them for 18 years and loved them!!Walt

Ithink that is BETTER and more ADVANTAGES than a fixed under 30 yards.
