Are mechanical or fixed broadheads better?
This study showed that bowhunters using mechanical broadheads actually had higher recovery rates than hunters using fixed blades. Plus, look at the cutting diameters on those mechanicals, some will argue, and all the gory promo videos. You don’t see those giant holes from fixed-blades.
Do mechanical broadheads shoot like field points?
There is no question that most mechanical heads fly similar to a field point, but odds are they don’t fly exactly like a field tip. The majority of broadhead companies make a practice head that is designed to fly just like their broadhead does, but that is not always the case.
Should you practice with mechanical broadheads?
There isn’t much of a need to practice with your mechanicals. They should fly exactly like your field points. Especially if your bow is tuned properly then you won’t have anything to worry about. There is no way all mechanical broadheads fly the same as fieldpoints.

Most bowhunters know that fixed blades fly differently due to the fact that their blades’ wind plane, and therefore they’ll have a different point of impact. But marketers of mechanical broadheads have consistently told consumers that their product will fly just like a field point.
Can you shoot mechanical broadheads into target?
Registered. I shoot them into the target and let them open up. The pack always comes with more than 1 head so you don’t have to reuse the one you practice with unless you want to replace/sharpen the blades.
Do broadheads fly like field points?
But marketers of mechanical broadheads have consistently told consumers that their product will fly just like a field point.
