    Re: switching mechanicals to fixed blade

    Tried moving rest this morning, but no success.
    Than I noticed something, My field points and mechanicals fly flat and have tight groups at 20yrds, but I can see my arrow dive when I shoot fixed heads , I squared my inserts and spintested arrows so I am stuck again. My groupings did tighten up shooting shorter arrows.

    I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

    I found the same problems different bows shot different heads better than others, started using tekans and they shot well and tryed the rages the last two years and never lost an animal and never had one go further than 40 yards, watched all but one fall, but definetly not the strongest head on the market, almost all blades damaged but did do what they are ment to.

    Must be a package of the earlier design for the heads. They have worked on it and toughened them up considerably.

    I've been shooting the fixed G5 Montecs. Great broadheads and have always passed through deer and killed them pretty quickly. I use the same arrows for hunting as I do for target shooting and the same weight Montecs as my field points. I just unscrew the field points and screw in the broadheads. They fly almost exactly the same out to 40 yards which is farther than I have ever shot a deer at. Maybe I'm just lucky but sure love those Montecs. Easy to sharpen to boot.
