I had WASP JAK-HAMMERS last year and I wrapped dental floss around the blades in place of the rubber band and they shot just fine into a BLOCK target. When I took the floss off I made sure none of the blades got bent and were all freely flopping open........worked for me.

Some heads you can tie down, others you can' t. what heads in peticular are you refering too?

Just figure on wasting a set of blades and buy replacements right away, in 3 packs it doesn' t take long to waste blades, remember...ONE SHOT AND THEY ARE DONE until you replace or sharpen them and with these blades I don' t recommend sharpening them unless your skilled at it.....

I shot the RM Snypers on 5 Shots recommendation (I' ll never give up Muzzy) and they flew true to me.....now my hunting partners bow, they did not and believe me when I say it is tuned to perfection.....he shot the Snypers and they flew high left of his field points....he still shot the Muzzy' s which we had tuned to group with the field points......

If you don' t practice with mechanicals and only assume, you may be in trouble.

I shoot spitfires, and they sell practice blades dirt cheap. I bought some, and they work well.

the last 2 years i used steel heads. the reason i went to the mechanicle is because i can still practice with my field points. this year i am using snypers (better penatration i hope) and again i can practice with field points. do not get me wrong, i still have my practice broadheads and periodicaly shoot them to make sure that nothing has changed.

I also shoot Rocky Mountain Snypers and have for three years now. In my first pack I chalked one up for a practive head and shot it every practive session along with my field tips. Since then I have saved two heads that I took game with and added them to practice heads. If for some reason I loose a hunting head, I can always add new blades to the practice heads.

I shoot my mechanicals, just like I' d shoot them at an animal....then donate that head to the practice bin.

monsterbuckland all I will say is do not knock it until you have tried it! With Spitfires (so far) they fly like field points! When they quite doing that I will do one of two things, either gamble on a fixed blade that flys like a field point as long as there is no wind (and take the chance it does not " plane on me" ) or switch to another brand of Mech!
