Why not use a Mechanical Broadhead?

Controversial for sure! Everyone has an opinion on the right arrow combo.
Do you shoot mechanical? Do you shoot gold tip? Are you and AAE hunter?
Let's talk about some pro/cons.

What's the rest of your arrow setup? Brand, model, length, componentry, etc... Looks like a gold tip black label quantum?

[@jfreak7589]

Would that be a good setup for antelope?

[@jackbuendgen389]

I have to ask. What's your draw length and draw weight? I have a 27" draw and 72#. I'm considering that weight for hunting here in Wyoming

[@YahstiPerkinskiller]

You and I are very close in specs. My draw length (DL) is 27.25”. I’m running about 75lbs of draw weight. At around 290fps, I’m in about 77ke, and .52 momentum.

I shot my elk with a 4 blade mini mag from grim reaper. I hit a rib on the entrance and it didn't pass all the way through but it broke the skin on the exit side the broadhead looked like it had never bin shot . I know all this single bevel heavy arrow crap is just marketing now

[@mrsteezsv3864]

Are you underpinned with that weight of a aarow

[@YahstiPerkinskiller]

No. I run a 300 spine arrow, with a carbon to carbon cut of about 26”. Keeping the air pretty stiff

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

Everything works until it doesn't. That goes for any arrow set up out there.

Appreciate your honest thoughts man. I’m going with mechanicals too (evolution Hydes). I want the absolute best chance of my arrow hitting behind the pin, and I tune my bows to the best of my abilities. Fixed heads are awesome, but especially when my heart rate is up or I’m shooting weird angles, mechanicals are just more forgiving. Thanks for sharing your experiences, gives me confidence if I end up dropping arrow weight.

[@YahstiPerkinskiller]

I agree totally! Well made fixed headers are amazing. It’s just tough to get a fixed to fly when jittered up, in the wind, and at distance. I’m with ya bud!👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Did you write articles for some of the bow hunting mags years ago?
