I'm a first-year archer and quite addicted. However, I can't imagine getting into the more detailed aspects that many of the TBH faithful do (serving my own peep, installing a new string myself, etc.). I prefer the shooting and hunting aspect.
I started out using mechanical broadheads because my long-time archer friend/adviser recommended them for a newbie. The Spitfires I used seemed to fly like field points and I made some kills. However, they didn't hold up very well. I switched over to 2 blade Bloodrunners and they seem not to fly as much like field points (you can look at them and see that they look like they have two huge 'rudders' sticking out to catch air).
Well, my tripod is set up just under 20 yards from my feeder. I am currently practicing shooting at 30 and 40 yards, although I don't anticipate taking a shot at that distance in my current hunting location.
What would change if I switched to some fixed blade broadheads? I see 6 Muzzy broadheads for sale for less than only 3 Spitfires, Bloodrunners, Rage, etc.
If I'm not shooting 40, 50, 60 yards, will it make much difference?
BTW, I'm shooting a Switchback XT, currently set at 60#.
