Words of wisdom! I like it!

Do you guys mean to tell me that fixed blade heads are still around?

:D...sorry, but I enjoy kicking the dead horse as much as the next guy...:D

The emphasis is mine. Therein lies the problem. He does not want to have to tune. In my opinion he should then not be hunting an animal with his bow.

I still run into guys that take their bows to the shop to have the poundage adjusted ...........touching a rest (come on) .......know what I mean !! ;)

But they will take any ole shop employees word to the grave ! In fact I know of a store that used to have a pre-season tuning special for $10 !! They had a teenager taking bows in and he would take a bow square and re-set your nocking point , measure the tiller, oil you axles , and "eyeball" anything else ! If he saw a frayed string " replace" it.......cracked peep tubing "replace" it ........cam timing......" huh " !! I watched a lot of folks leaving for hunting season......fully confident in the little guys tuning and recommendations ! He was a mechanical user as well..........but interestingly didn't know much about KE.....except it didn't matter on today's bows !! [:o];)

Maybe the guy just doesn't know any better !!

i was lucky enaough to be the first to respond to his post. I think I kind of summed it up for him. No fixed blade broadhead is going to fly perfect if your bow is not tuned for it.

Fortunately, I'm not so terribly PC that I won't tell someone that their actions are bad for bowhunting. Hunting with an untuned bow, regardless of broadhead type, is definitely BAD. Ignorance can be cured. Laziness and stupidity have to be weeded out and disposed of.

[:@] I'm not sure what the deal is with this guy. I don't know a ton about tunning a bow but that is no excuse not to. I downloaded a tunning guide of the Easton website and played with my bow until I felt confident that I knew where my b-heads were going to hit.

Maybe this guy is like me and dosn't have any friends who shoot. Let alone any friends who shoot with more knowledge of bows and tunning than he has. Maybe just maybe he shoots traditional gear and there is very little tunning to be done.(I don't shoot traditional so if this worng please let me know).

Although the comments are disturbing, there was a post near the start of last season about people who were shooting animals with field points. This guy isn't a whole lot better but as mentioned above, I've seen worse. I think topics like this should be included in all archery safty courses. It's possiable this guy is an absolute idiot and knows no better and no one has ever told him. I hope someone replied to his post to try and better inform him.

RE: Beating the dead horse again
 

When I first started bowhunting years ago, I used to have problems finding a broadhead that would fly good for me. But I finally tried a few different types and found one that flies similar to shooting field points and requires little tweaking once I practice with the broadheads. Maybe he should try a couple different types of broadheads before giving up on the fixed blades?

I can't worry about what other people do or say they do. all I can worry about is me and my rig.

Even on a perfectly tuned bow, broadheads wiil fly different than fieldtips. It is only a matter of physics.IMO.
