Long range accuracy from fixed blade heads???

[COOSEFAN]

4 blade wac'em or slick tricks!!! Fly with my field points to 80 yds.. They make good blood trails but all the animals I've shot with them thought they sucked..... but not for long!!!!!

 

I'm from the old school way of thinking and that why shoot something (mech) that could potentially fail on that hard earned shot! Keep it as simple as new age archery can get and eliminate any variables that you can! I am not dogging out mech heads as I believe there are a couple of good designs out there but I prefer to keep it simple.

 

When it comes to elk a heavier arrow and proper placement are more important issues to be concerned with IMO....

 

Good luck on your hunt!

Fixed broadheads suck. Shoot rage or the g5 tekans they both make awesome entry and exit wounds. Plus they are extremely accurate and will normally shoot the same as your field points.

 

Not to start a Pi$$ing match but that has to be one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. The only time Fixed heads "suck" is if 1. The bow is not properly tuned or 2. The shooter has form issues. Whenever I tune my bow, after paper, walk back etc.. I shoot a fixed, mechanical (usually either rage, or T3 ) and a field point. I'm not happy until they all shoot together. Once a bow is tuned, almost any head mechanical or fixed will shoot great.

I like G5 striker, montec or Wac em and now I am shooting the VPA's they are awesome.

 

 

I would love to see someone shoot accurate groups at 80 yards with a fix blade as accurately as i can do with a mechanical. Fix blades take a lot more effort and time to tune to your bow. I personally have my bow paper tuned as well and it helps but they still doesn't compare to the mechanical broadheads.

 

But thats also my opinion. You know just as well as i do, that if you ask 10 different archers one question about something you will get 10 different answers.

 

Thanks for not taking my post as an attack, as it wasn't meant to be, and I agree everyone will have an opinion.

 

Here is mine: I love to shoot broadheads, I shoot them all year around, I like to try and shoot as many brands, styles as I can. I have shot many, many broadheads and agree that mechanicals can be less sensitive to form. BUT for all of MY hunting applications, the difference between my mechanicals and fixed are negligible, out to my max hunting range. Shooting a fixed has two major advantages though. 1. (I like numbering my thoughts) When using a fixed head there is no premature deployment (quiver, or hitting branch or spider clip fail, or rubber band failure etc...) 2. When I practice with my fixed COC, VPA's I then can touch up the edge and hunt with them without having to take them off my arrow to change out blades or to take off the practice tip and re-screw in the hunting bh.

Once my solid BH is spin tested, shot then I hunt with my practice tip WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ARROW/BROADHEAD except to resharpen and of course that is done without taking it off the arrow.

 

Once thing I believe in is to shoot what you are comfortable with have confidence in, this archery game is mostly mental.

 

One more thing, hitting an elk in the vitals at 60 yards is relativly easy, compared to hitting a coues deer. With an elk I would rather give up a minimal amount of accuracy to have a tougher, fixed head. again my opinion.

 

 

Yeah, what he said too!!! JIM>
