A perfect shot it would not matter mech or fixed or make. One thing to consider is that on the outside chance one makes the not so perfect shot a mech will back up and close ,were a fixed blade will keep working for you with every leep.

Well...I don't have an unfounded phobia or an uneducated bias...

I did learn that GMMAT went to them because he hit a deer too far backand evidently had a sparce blood trail...Certainly not the fault of the head...Possibly a more experienced tracker wouldn't have had a problem finding that deer...

I also learned that he had already decided on HIS answer to the post before he posted...

People on the internet are crazy.
As evidenced by the fact that once again, there's another long-running thread on mechs vs. fixed heads with everyone chiming in, no progress being made, no-one being convinced one way or the otherand grown men slinging mud and insults at each other.

I know, I know, you just asked a simple question, but you're smarterthan the average bear... you had to know where it would go.

BTW, I can't participate in your poll. I shoot Grim Reapers. More cutting surface than the Rage and no "O" rings.[8D]

How the hell are ya, GMMAT? You know I'm right, don't ya? It's only 1/16", and YES the rage makes a bigger hole, but it really does have that itty bitty bit more cutting surface. Does it make a difference? Not a bit, but at least I can say it.

You bet I am. I've been working so hard with that longbow, but I'm going to limit my shots to 15 yards and under with it though. I tried hard to get consistent enough to shoot 20 yards, but I know I'm not there yet, so 15 yards max it is. Best of luck to you.

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?
