- Todd Graf & Justin Zarr sit down with PJ Reilly from LancasterArchery.com as well as Scott & Angie Denny from Table Mountain Outfitters to discuss broadheads. They explain the differences between fixed blades and mechanicals along with their personal experiences and feelings on which type of broadhead works the best. They also discuss shot placement, understanding the anatomy of the animals you're hunting, and several other tips for helping you be more successful this fall.
As professional outfitters who guide dozens of archery elk hunters each fall, Scott and Angie weigh in on what they think about using mechanical broadheads for hunting elk. You may not believe what they say!
If you're in the market for new broadheads, make sure you check out LancasterArchery.com and be sure to tell them we sent you!
If you want to go on a high-quality Western hunt for antelope, mule deer or elk, give Scott and Angie a call. You won't be disappointed! 307-632-6352 or visit tablemountainoutfitters.com - กีฬา
Should've had Dr. Ashby and Ranch Fairy on the panel
Lol true! They are exactly why I just ordered all new arrows and set-up to get my total arrow weight right around 605ish grains- Axis 5mm arrows with .300spine at 28 7/8" and bare shaft tuned (match grade), 120grain brass insert, 125gr fixed broadhead (tips that fly nice and straight and cooperate with me and my bow), Max hunter 2.1" fletching X3, and a lumenock. I know its no 750 or something but hey, I was shooting a total of 425 before....and now I'm actually shooting much straighter, more consistent, and definitely deadlier. I've been glad to see the awareness, especially since I was once lost haha
@@sean-yb5hc dumb as hell shooting that heavy for deer that guy's an idiot whitetail deer 450grains bigger animals yeah use a heavier arrow.
Max Penetration agree totally not only is the fairy an annoying idiot. But he has no clue when it comes to hunting whitetail.
Wouldn’t call him a idiot his information is sound... I highly recommend watching the channels that have tracking dogs and listen to what the guys who track whitetails when the hunter has exhausted all other resources. I think there opinions are unbiased and just reflect what they see
Allen r I have been bow hunting all my life used an assortment of equipment. And it all works if it’s matched to your bow setup. I have bee shooting mechanical for the last 4 years and have had great results. I killed 4 deer last season all complete pass throughs. Two through both front shoulders, one of those two was a 150in 11 point that weighed well over 200 pounds. If you bowhunt long enough you will have issues regardless of the equipment you choose. No broadhead leaves a worse blood trail than a narrow two blade cut on contact.
@ranchfairy would be happy about these comments, man is changing the industry
Fixed Blade! Ive always shot Slicktrick magnums but this year I've switched to 200gr. Cutthroat Broadheads
You should give the magnus black hornets or the slick trick viper tricks a shot too. They both fly so damn good and are some tough heads.
@@the.reel.mccoy. Magnus made single bevel black hornets I'd give them a try.
Fixed blades!!!! But having confidence in your set up is one of the most important keys. Awesome show!!!!
The reason that when you shoot it behind the shoulder in the 12 ring and your arrow ends up in the liver, is that the steep angle on the broadhead is causing deflection. The changing of direction. A long cut on contact broadhead will take a straighter path through the animal. Keep track of what broadhead was used when you see that happen and report back.
Obviously a biased discussion favoring the mechanicals. A fixed blade head is by far a better mechanical tool than a mechanical. Mechanical broadheads take more energy and penetrate less than a fixed style head. Saying absolutely no broadhead is getting through a shoulder is false, single bevels or other heads do it all the time. Tune your bow and arrow setup, high FOC, and 550gr+ you will be more successful.
@Trevor Lawson the bow hunting dot com guys are sponsored by mechanical heads so they will always be biased to them. I’m sure they know Nap makes junk non reusable heads but they give them a paycheck every month, so I can’t blame them. As far as PJ, he knows he’s going to sell 10 times as many mechanical heads compared to fixed. Fixed blade and heavy arrows will always and forever top of the food chain.
@@00_ELECTRICWIZARD_00 Strange, PJ and Justin both picked fixed blade broadheads for the one broadhead if they had to choose one and only one. I suggest watching the entire discussion, before commenting. Enjoy!
If it's "obviously" a biased discussion, how come 2 of the people picked fixed blade, and 2 picked mechanical???
@@00_ELECTRICWIZARD_00 It's true that we're partnered with NAP, but they also make some of the nastiest fixed blade heads (Hellrazor, Thunderhead Nitro) which we use all the time! The only reason you think we're "biased" towards them is because most of the guys on our team prefer mechanical. That's it! Not because we get paid to use them, but because most of us actually prefer using them. Also, you said PJ will sell "10 times as many mechanicals..." yet he prefers using fixed blades...Did you even watch the full video?
@@bowhuntordie Freedom of choice! Shoot what you are lethal with! What nobody talks about though is that you can greatly improve the efficiency of mechanical by using heavy inserts. Edward Ashby didn't lie about FOC. It applies to both fixed and mechanical.
Fixed blade all the way.
I've shot both for years! Fixed Magnus Stinger 4 125g is what i am using and is what i will keep using.
At the end of the video, another good reason for wanting a pass through. I always spend the time to find my arrow before going to look for blood or the animal, so I can read the evidence on the arrow as to whether I should wait 3-4 hours or just go right in after 30 min.
A arrow in the dirt can tell you a lot about a hit on deer
My opinion is that people don’t put enough thought in arrow flight. If your arrow is wobbling it will not fly well, deflect, and lack penetration no matter what broadhead you shoot. Balance weight, and FOC to reasonable numbers and get good flight.
Going to fixed cut on contact broadheads this year with a heavy arrow and high foc after not getting pass throughs with mechanicals
Same here
Overall pretty good conversation... I would like Todd and Justin to interview a dog tracker for whitetail they have a much different take then the western couple
PJ
I am a Magnus shooter. I have taken Hundreds of deer with Magnus tipped arrows.
I've used the Stinger 4 blade 100 grain. The Buzzcut 4 blade 100 grain. And both the Black Hornet 100 grade 4 blade Serazor and plain. All deadly heads.
I've Spoken to Mr. Sohm several times and told him why I like the Serazor (serrated Black Hornet) so much. And why I don't like the Buzzcuts as much. The Buzzcuts simply do not hold up as well as the cousins the Stinger because the serrated edges of the buzzcuts are weaker and will break onimpact with hard bone. But not the serrated Black Hornets,
Better Blood trails...and tougher heads. I recommend you switch to the Ser razors!
You'll thank me!!!
I hunted with Scott and Angie last year. I had a fixed blade and a rage mechanical tuned to >75 yards. Scott encouraged me to shoot the Rage (trust your guide). At the end of the day I shot my first mule deer and my first antelope. I practiced over 92 yards a lot (no further...due to clearance issues), but told them I was ready for 45 yards. They watched me shoot before the hunt. I questioned both of my shots, but I recovered both animals under 100 yards. I will always love Scott and Angie. They run an awesome outfit. They listened to my comfort level, watched me shoot, and considered my gear. I trusted Scott, and I made two really long (for me) shots with short tracking jobs. Both of those animals are on my wall today.
Please redo this with The Ranch Fairy involved.
I like my iron wills good sharp fixed blade
Best argument for fixed blades & high FOC arrows I’ve seen yet.
I shoot mechanicals (Sevr) I love them good penetration and great blood trails
The lower right couple say more people miss to the back. Maybe they should get rid of those junk mechanicals so they arent so scared of that shoulder hit. Ill get my hunting info from other sources.
Producing 3D targets that are anatomically correct may help too.
Anyone shooting Muzzy Trocar HB hybrid? Seems it would be best if flies true? 2 mechanical and 2 fixed blades gotta work.
based on the comments most folks think the panel was biased and full of crap.
Good to know the viewers know 5these people have no idea. Except one
What a great conversation. Sometimes hunters can really attach their own when we should be encouraging each other. I personally use the Ashby study and the United Blood Trackers recovery stats as guides for which broad heads to use. They have tens of thousands of data points which is more than I will have in my lifetime.
I used to shoot fixed blade broad heads when i was younger and when Rage came out with two blade i switched and seen terrible results with penetration with rage broad heads, two years ago i shot a 6 point in PA public land at 13 yards, 70 lb bow with 400 spline gold tip and 100 grain rage two blade, hit him behind front shoulder and a little hit, only thing there was ribs, couldnt have hit any other bone and only got 6 to 8 inches of penetration, found him, only went 60 yards, but that arrow should of been buried in the ground. so i am changing to heavier arrow with fixed blade heads.
400? Unless you’re like a 24” draw. You were way under spined
Great pod cast guys with great info ...7 weeks away here in NC can't wait ..ps when you guys going to to some food plot updates?BHOD
If you want the best. You better be willing to pay for the best!
The best you can get is. the Valkyrie system. Hands down.
Fixed blades will ALWAYS out perform a mechanical. Just watch most of this shows lack of penetration. Watch the latest episode of the hunting public with the “Ranch Fairy” for a true broad head and penetration tutorial.
Always?
I switched to fix blades but I wouldn’t say they out perform mech always... a well placed 2 inch cut is absolutely brutal to see first hand.. not saying the fixed blade won’t give you same results but not as frequently but as far as consistently having blood enough to follow On the not so great shots the fixed wins hands down
I prefer fixed all day, but the big problem with any broadhead is FOC. The issue most hunters have is that they buy an over the counter arrow with feather weighted inserts and mechanical Broadheads that they don't have to tune. If you get heavier inserts, Better FOC, and tune the arrows from insert to nock, it matters much less which you choose. (Until you hit spine 😉)
Just my thoughts on the topic. I actually consider it unethical to shoot anything but a fixed blade head at animals. I’ve shot a simple Magnus stinger 2 blade fixed head out of a 50 lb recurve for years and gotten nearly all complete pass throughs on deer. Friends use mechanicals out of 70lb compounds and routinely don’t get pass throughs. This is just ridiculous. If people would just shot a slightly heavier arrow for hunting (450-550 grains) and a fixed head there would be a lot less wounded deer every year.
What about bloodtrial
The united blood trackers group routinely track deer with dogs that hunters are unable to recover. The number one factor that increases the recovery rate is if the arrow passes through the deer. The chances of this occurring are drastically improved with the use of a fixed blade broadhead and ‘heavier’ arrow (450-550 grains). I have never shot mechanical broadheads, but have no trouble following the blood trail. Deer typically run around 40 yards at the most.
I keep a Magnus stinger a Magnus black hornet ser-razor one in 100 grain and one in 125 for a close shot or if I'm going through something like a bigger deer a small game head which I used to used one of the original ramcats for and a two inch cutting diameter mechanical. I've never used a mechanical broadhead on anything yet but I may on a turkey. But if I have a deer in front of me I'm going to be pulling out the black hornet buzzcut or the stinger. Unless I get to try the new ramcats..... I did shoot a doe with one of the older ones and had great results, found her within 50 yards
So true!
@@hanktaylor721 its more about placement and sharpness
Its proven that if you get a clean pass through your kill percentage goes way up than a mechanical that goes in 8”, you can aim for the shoulder if you shoot a heavy arrow with high foc.
I have no problem blowing through the front shoulder of whitetail with mechanical. Well tuned bow with enough ke and an arrow over 400 grains mechanical will serve you well.
Everyone should check out the RANCH FAIRY channel on TH-cam
Been shooting swhackers for the pass 5 years and they work. Lost a few deer over the years BUT I'm just so tired of breaking arrows. Going with a higher FOC for pass throughs this season.
I’ve found that making sure ur arrows are structurally sound. Squaring the ends of the arrows so that all ur components (Inserts, nocks) fit flush.
A lil FOC and making sure ur arrow comes out of ur bow straight and hits ur target as straight as possible. (Impact Paradox)
I killed 2 deer and 2 big boar hogs with the same arrow and broadhead this past deer season
I'd say the trust issue is number one. If you trust your set up no matter what you shoot builds your confidence. If your not confident with your setup it's gonna reek havoc on your shots no matter what broadhead. Like they said a good shot is gonna be a good shot no matter what broadhead. Ive had great luck with both over the yrs. Only bad luck I ever had and heard from other is from the nap blood runners.
Paper tune with fletch, shoot bare shaft and adjust the sight so fletch field point hit the same place. Shoot anything you want as long as they weigh the same. Don't forget a nock is 8 grains, a lighted is around 20 grains. If you practice with plain nocks, add enough 14 gauge house wire epoxied inside and straight to match the weight so when you change nocks your good.
I have had very good luck with both types. What I think is the most important is the tip of the broad head. I believe the best broad head has a cut on contact tip not a chisel tip or a needle style tip. Especially with lower poundage shooters. The cut on contact style tip is the only broad head I will shoot and recommend no matter if it is a fixed blade or a mechanical.
I fully tune my bow to shoot a bare shaft with no tear at 20 yards. Fixed blades fly exactly with field points. However, i shoot a SEVR 125 for all the forgiveness possible at the moment of truth. I get sooooo rattled when a deer comes in I need all the help I can get 👍😁
Yall cray cray
I will never shoot anything but a magnus black hornet ser-razor this broadhead is extremely accurate and durable with a lifetime warranty, oh did I mention made in America! After 31 years in the woods I can tell you it works!
I have shot the Grim Reaper mechanical for years and been very please with penetration and performance. It's not a fixed versus mechanical debate for me, its all about cutting surface.
Nothing like talking down to hunters who are just trying to be more ethical and lethal. Real classy Justin
U CANNOT beat..... a solid steel 2 blade, single bevel broadhead, that is periodically sharpened to a razors edge #PERIOD #PleaseBelieve #BoneBusting #Penetration #FOC
I used to fall into the line of thinking that followed the mechanical crowd. However, all that has changed in less than a year for me since I found the Ashby Bowhunting Foundation. Read the 12 factors that influence penetration and then create your arrow set up. I’m at 587Gr. The fifteen years of data has accounted for clean kills on multitudes of Whitetail Deer, Mule Deer, Elk, Wild Hogs, Nilgai, over 1800 Cape and Asiatic Buffalo, nearly one hundred Elephant, multiple Hippo, and countless other large game across North America, Africa, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia, making the Ashby Bowhunting Foundation the leading global authority on arrow and broadhead lethality. I vehemently disagree and will never shoot another mechanical broadhead in my life.
I've shot a bow for 20years. However yesterday I bare shaft tuned my bow I could shoot a bare shaft @ 25 yards and it fly's like a dart. As soon as I fletched my arrows I have honestly never seen a better arrow flight out of my bow !! Took me about 20 mins to figure out what weight up front ect to get it dialed in but it's game over now
Lots of great information! So a question about these faster bows and/or crossbows, like over 400fps, what kind of mechanical broadheads would you recommend? I have always been a fixed blade guy with better shot placement as a goal. Just trying to get more information on higher speed stuff.
This just sounds like a big push for the mechanical besides good ole PJ. He knows whats right.
Sevr 1.7 ..amazing broad head
Mechanicals are better if you hit to far back, Fixed are better if you hit to far forward. I always aim to far forward, because that is where all the good stuff is, so I shoot a heavy fixed blade. I have never not had an arrow go through a leg bone (entry or exit).
I meant mechanical Radg 2 and half inch cutting
What's your thoughts on the original steelhead 125 grain?
Does anyone know how much force the target there shooting can apply to the arrow there shooting?
Mechanical 2 inch cut
I guess I am weird too, because I have a fixed blade and mechanical broadheads in my quiver..lol
Lots of video out there of mechanicals not penetrating much. Wonder how much that is due to them being attached to a 390gn arrow? Hmmmm? Problem is, the same guy that chooses mechanicals wants "field tip accuracy" without a well tuned set up and is also scared to shoot a heavier arrow because he is afraid of slower speed and the associated arrow trajectory. On the other hand, the guy who wants the heavier arrow knows the loss in speed is not a big deal and is also taking the time to get a decent tune and has no trouble getting fixed blades to fly well.
The real questions is....Has anyone tried running a mechanical on a "Ranch Fairy"/ Dr. Ashby arrow (500+gr , around 15% FOC or higher)? This is the answer I'm looking for. I'm toying with the idea of trying it this weekend. If someone has tried, please advise.
@@toddgack54 How is that they are "too flimsy"? They are typically stiffer spined and heavier. Your logic doesn't make sense to me...I could be missing something though.
Swhacker 150 grain mechanical. 3 inch cut. Works for me.
NAP Spitfire Doublecross Broadhead awesome Broadhead
@@zachzumbach1205 yep another broadhead fault lol it's never your shot placement
Just watch Michael Waddels latest vid of his mechanical broadhead literally bouncing off a deer......
😆 yea i saw it too. "They cant figure out what happened". Load up the front and ✂ on contact, problem solved.
Most grounded conversation about broadheads I have seen lately. There is so much whacky info out there. Thanks for bringing this conversation together without the sales pitch...
Thank you!
This video was produced because mechanical companies are scared because people are learning arrow science beyond “speed kills”.
Actually, it is because we have a passion for creating bowhunting content. Nobody asked us to create this video. Thanks for watching!
I'm guessing that those "perfect" shots were all mechanicals.
We've noticed several times on broadside hits that looked perfect but ended up turning upon impact that the mechanicals literally turned on impact. Not so much with fixed!!!
Never seen a broadhead penetrate a low shoulder? They have a bunch of rich clients with untuned bows. I've seen elk shot end to end including humerus and femur with heavy foc single bevel broadhead. P.S RAGE blades suck! To long to flappy. Read dr Ashby's study over 5000 animals and 118 data points for each arrow. Complete pass threw is the norm even on buffalo with cut on contact broadheads
I think both have their place and i think its all personal belief of what someone decides to shoot. I personally shoot mechanicals. I choose the large cut and personally dont have any penetration issues. . However i dont like mech that are over the top deploy because of penetration. I believe that the rear deploying are better and have a less chance of deflection. I have takin animals at long and short range and shot placement is most important over all other things in my opinion. Shoot whatever you like the best and whatever makes you feel good about your set up. Keep politics out of hunting its already ruining our world. Good luck in sept Everyone or august if your a speed goat chaser.
I get the argument for both broadheads. Personally I have a shorter draw length and a bow that is not a "speed" bow. I wouldn't choose anything but a quality fixed blade with my set up but these things differ from person to person. If you have plenty of speed/energy output a mechanical is a great choice for some people. Less things to go wrong with a fixed blade but greater chance of better blood trail/quick kill with a bigger mechanical. This debate will last as long as bow hunting will 😂😂
I've got notes all over my fletching.......... Montec G5 Carbon, I bleed when I look at em.
If you miss back you’re screwed, if you hit the shoulder you can still get lung. The avoidance of bone contact is hilarious. Number one shot placement number two penetration, simple! Notice pj’s explanation was simple and the mechanical peddlers read us a book. The mechanical peddlers make it sound like penetration is a bad thing.
A sharp fixed blade by far. Not once did you cover hitting forward. stats show that pass though shots ( 2 holes) are super important. Shooting a sharp head is what causes great blood trails
According to United Blood Trackers. Any animal with an exit hole is substancially more likely to be recovered than one without. A 2 inch entry hole is less important than an exit hole. But in the current day and age of bow hunting both quality fixed and mechanical heads can be found and are viable options on even largef game like elk. Though due to drag issues and poor mechanical advantage of the blade angle. I would probably avoid mechanicals on any animal with thick fat. Hogs and bears for example. But the bigger issue that was mentioned but breezed past is poor arrow performance. Super light fast arrows just do not penetrate as well. Especially with low FOC. Lower FOC makes the rear end of the arrow want to leapfrog forward apon impact. Often times you hear people quote Ashby and Ranch Farie. Which I have done as well. But to a point some people are rite. A big heavy high FOC arrow with a 2 blade single bevel may be excessive on deer. But overkill is better than underkill. Some people like a light arrow for flatter trajectory. And I dont have an issue with someone wanting to be morr confident in their shot placement. But I think a light arrow is even more reason to use a small super sharp fixed blade. While guys that are already shooting high FOC heavy arrows that can push a big mechanical out the other side should possibly give mechanicals a good look. Just to clarify. I do shoot heavy high FOC arrows and my quiver this year will have a mix of fixed and mechanicals in it. All tested out to 60 yards.
Do they realize how much kinetic energy is loss with a mechanical broadhead? It's typically 20%. That's 12 lbs of ke loss on a 60 lb draw. A heavy arrow with a fixed blade broadhead will almost always provide superior penetration.
So essentially, if you gut shoot; Shoot mechanical? That just doesn't sit right with me. I'll stick to hugging the shoulder with Magnus Black Hornets or Slick Tricks.
Its pure laziness to say you cant shoot fixed blades past 20 yards, shoot s heavy fixed blade with high FOC and you will be fine.
In a well tuned bow I shoot fix blades just as good as field tips
I ve had good success with Rage 2 Blade. Lady was right the very first mechanicals were bad .
A lot of matter is is arrow placement most any brode head do the job first all you experts should talked about wind plaining arrows shot placement if shoot deer in rear it going run
Yet they don’t acknowledge the endless tests that prove a solid cut-on-contact with plenty of mass will penetrate way better than a mechanical any day. Secondly, saying a broadhead can’t penetrate the shoulder joint is absolutely ludicrous. Also belittling people “a lot of people are hunting Cape buffalo apparently “. Why not use a Cape buffalo arrow for whitetail, can they be too dead?
Getting full penetration on a whitetail depends on a lot of different factors. And no, a whitetail can't be "too dead" but they are WAY faster and quicker than a Cape buffalo. You never know how much a whitetail will duck/move on a shot. It's about finding the right mix of heavy to fast when it comes to whitetail hunting.
Bowhunting.com well I tell ya what. I’ve got bow hunting videos from the 90’s and those boys got it done with slower bows with heavy aluminum arrows. I understand where you’re coming from but it definitely doesn’t excuse making a snide comment about other people’s preferences.
G5 mega meat!!!!!!!
Never shot a mechanical and I never will the basic concept is dumb I'm gonna sacrifice penetration just so I can simply get 1 big hole
You guys laugh about shooting heavy upfront sets, but I'm telling you I'll kill more deer with a single arrow and the same 200gn single bevel upfront with around 16% foc than you will with the next dozen arrows you set up at 350-450 with a mechanical. Durability and reliability don't lie. My groups have never been better out to 50yards with well tuned arrows and heavy upfront. And on the plus side, I will never worry about the shoulder ever again.
Wish you luck, but I'll agree to disagree with you guys on this one.
The Ranch Fairy just puked
Ranch Fairy made a cult of know it all’s. Every one of them is as annoying as the last. I killed two bucks with 650 grain arrows last year. Waste of my life and money. Deer die either way. If you want to hunt water Buffalo go for it
just sayin....this might be a reason. Somebody somewhere said you can improve the wheel...an ad man said i can sell that idea...the general public said ok...i'll try that. I know nothing about this bow...i screw this thing on and wala...i'm Fred Bear...we've been using fixed blade broadheads for 65,000 years...you can't improve a wheel.
Anything over ten yards mechanical period. Fixed are like a paper airplane they fly somewhere, but they will penetrate. But who cares how far you shot through an animal if you miss anything vital
Have you ever paper tuned
Your bow is jacked up. I could get your bow shooting any fix blade exactly with your field points at any yardage
I like fixed blades better blood trails
Mechanicals are not for me
Wow corporate sell outs...
Can you explain to us how a 50/50 split of preference on fixed to mechanical means that we're sell outs?
@@bowhuntordie this was a great podcast and I think you and I have a similar tuning and arrow selection style.
All evidence shows me that mechanical heads have really no advantage. I guess larger blood trails. But, if you use high FOC heavy arrow with an insanely sharp cut on contact fixed blades, the animal doesn't EVER go far.
The rest of the guys, except PJ, really think that mechanicals are better. That is pretty ludicrous, but they don't know that.
Mechanicals work great, just not near as well.
Keep in mind that everyone here has been bowhunting for their entire lives, and they've all had different experiences. They each made their broadhead choice off of those experiences, and that's truly how you should pick your gear. Use what's best for you, the hunter.
@@bowhuntordie The main difference being that PJ is older and wiser than the others... :) :)
I don't think its appropriate to just try and "cancel" people out who are pushing for high FOC, bare-shaft tuned straight flying arrows, with reliable and MORE DEADLY FIXED BLADE heads and just say "you dont need to shoot through 5 animals". Obviously. You are just denying objective, factual data - straight up numbers that prove effectiveness. Yes, mechanicals are good for flying straight and can cause serious damage, plus plenty of game harvested. However, the data on penetration and recovery proves that the fixed blades are better - Just don't exaggerate in order to attempt to debase a MORE VALID ARGUMENT. That crap is exactly why our country is falling apart - it is literally how socialism and communism are infecting the free world. Exaggerate in order to make people look out to be stupid or extreme or whatever in order to debase their point of view. That is NOT the American way.
Mechanicals are big business. Most really look cool. But don’t work. Fixed all the way.
If they didn't work, we wouldn't use them...Just depends on what you want out of your broadheads.
Bowhunting.com I really appreciate the response. I’ve had very mixed results with mechanicals over the years. Some simply do not open, others become obliterated with any contact with bone. I like the strength and improved penetration of the fixed. Definitely a great debate. One debate that I do not see going away anytime soon. I’ve used a variety and recently switched back to fixed. Keep up the great work! Love your channel!
Bahahaha pass through isn’t important? You need to talk to men the run tracking dogs lol.
All this 'mech vs fixed' garbage is simply another example of the nonsense division in the archery community.
Quit helping the ANTIs, by fighting amongst yourselves. The community should be tight-knit, supportive of each other, not finding the tiniest thing to bicker and trash each other.
Use whatever the F you desire. It's YOUR choice, and nobody else's opinion means anything. And it's further fueled by the social media channels using the topic for easy views and monetary gain.
