Fixed or Mechanical

Post by Geodehunter »

Which broadhead do you shoot with your Excalibur? All I am looking for is which one you shoot. Fixed or Mechanical. Don't need any brands or anything. Trying to get a feel on which way to go. I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place on what to do here. Please let me know. TIA!!!

I simply will not take a chance on mechanicals. I bought the Excalibur for the main reason of simplicity. Less moving parts and more reliable and accuarate. I know that there have been a many of deer killed with mechanicals and never had a lick of trouble but I simply will not do it personally.
Best of luck.

Doesn't really matter what "we" shoot, it's what "you" want to shoot. :wink:

Rage

I mean mechanical!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Mechanical for hunting. . .like to take as many of the risks out of the equation as possible, the faster the bow, the more effects wind has on the blades. Blades dragging and planing. . .not a good thing.
I'd rather wear out than rust out.
