First "bad" Experience with Mechanicals

[bigbrother]

After hearing Petey's story while talking to him over the weekend, I ended up taking a deer at a lazer ranged 61 yds with the Hoyt Vtec. I shot him with Easton 2413's with a 3 blade Savora fixed blade broadhead. Nothing much to note other than since purchasing this bow I've been able to go back to fixed blade heads. I shoot 2 3/4" vanes with a 4 deg. offset and my broadheads fly great.

I too shot mechanicals for the past 5 years. I was shooting a Browning Afterburner and could not get a fixed blade head to shoot out of it. Even with 6" vanes with a heavy helical. They would just not shoot. I shot 2 dif. aluminum spines, ACC's, and carbon xpress hunters...none shot worth a hoot. So, I started shooting mechanicals. I shot 2 deer with Rocky revolution heads, neither provided a complete pass thru. (18 and 47 yds) I switched from them when I shot a turkey and it got away from me. I started shooting the Shockwaves and shot 2 deer with them both complete pass thru's. 24 and 26 yds.

Why did I switch back? The turkey incident. It still bothers me that I couldn't find it. Like Petey said: one is enough.
