Is this enough for Mech
Just wanted to see what you guys think of this setup as far as penetration on deer.
60lb bear showdown 28in draw 28 in 2117 xx78. I want to shoot NAP shock wave mechor the Scorpion XP Mech. Is this enough weight for Mech broadheads thanks for any input

RE: Is this enough for Mech
Looking at your setup, you are shooting quite a heavy arrow, and the speed shouldnt be all that fast. With that being said, you should be able to get good broadhead flight, with a fixed head, if the bow is tuned good. Why the need for the mechanical? or are you just looking for a larger cutting diameter? Best of luck with whatever you choose, but if I was shooting that set up, I would probably go back to my slick tricks.

RE: Is this enough for Mech
you should be fine, Vicki shot the Shockwaves for years and I think she shoot just under 60# and has a shorter drawlength than you. I think she even took a caribou with one, so you should be just fine on deer. If you are worried about penetration and want to still shoot a NAP head, I love the hellrazors or the new Nightmare's. Good Luck!
