I understand what you are saying Navy, and you make a good point.

But, don' t be too surprised if you see the single cam being a thing of the past in few years to come. I know it will be for me very soon anyways. My next bow will be a regression back to eccentric wheels. Geez, maybe I' m turning into one of those old guys who doesn' t like anything anymore[X(][X(][X(]!!!

Navy, we didn' t have to wait very long for a single cam bow at all. There was one by the mid-70' s called the Graham Dynabow. Martin bought the rights to it and had it in production for quite awhile.

LUCKYBUCK..........Don' t try mechanicals unless you have a high KE.(over 60) and your bow and arrows are perfectly tuned. They are fabulous tips if you have a set-up for it. Bloodtrails from a 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" diameter mechanical are amazing! If you' re at all not sure about your KE, or tuning, or if you' re going after bigger game then Deer, stick to Fixed!

Good Luck!!

Here in Washington State, Mechanicals are illegal so we have to shoot fixed blade heads. But as an old timer fixed will always tip my arrows. My first broadheads were Bear Razorheads. They were terrific then and probably still are. But I prefer my 3 blade 100gr Thunderheads.

A lot of states do not allow hunting with mechanicals and I personally preferr Fixed blade heads I would have no problem using a Rocket Steelhead Or a GKF Demon on whitetail but anything larger than a WT I would use a Fixed blade 125 GR Deadhead.
but the main thing is shot placement.
