Why do you use mechanical heads?T
If this has been done before I apologize. I was just wondering this today. I am betting that most people use them basically because they dont know how to tune their bow for their broadheads.
I got a new bow last week and today I went to shoot my broadheads. It probly took 15 minutes max and I was hitting a 4" circle at 40 yds. with my fixed blades. I dont have anything against mech. heads and I will probly still use them for turkeys myself.
Just curious.

Cutting diameter.......I doubt i will ever use a broadhead for deer from a compound anymore that will have a cutting diameter under 1.5" for a 3 blade.
I like 1.75" and up for my high energy set ups.

I still plan on using mech. heads for turkeys because of the huge cut and their small vitals but for everything else I plan on using fixed blades. I just dont see the point I guess. Like you said one more thing to go wrong. My last two deer with fixed have went 30 yds. What more can you ask for?
I see posts all the time on forums about how guys cant get their broadheads to hit right,etc.

Because I have the KE to do it, when they come out with a 10"cut I will shoot them to. If I was worried about 1 more thing going wrong I would be using an osage bow and cedar shafts.[8D]
