Mechanical or Fixed Broadheads

By Brandon Clark


Hunting has become quite a popular leisure activity in many parts of the world. The most common place where hunting is practiced the most is in the United States of America. Many people tend to generalize the term hunting, when in actual fact there are many ways by which a person can go hunting. The most common approach that is commonly used across the globe, especially in the US, is bow and arrow hunting.

Every true hunter knows that having the right set of equipment is necessary to make their hunting experience that much easier. It is for this very reason that many hunters are known to be quite precise about the equipment and tools that they use. In this article, we are going to look at bow and arrow hunting in a bit more detail.

What does make a difference however is the broad head that is used for attacking the prey? There are two different types of broad heads that can be used to kill your prey. These are commonly referred to as a fixed or mechanical broad head. In recent years, there has been a lot of debate as to which broad head is more effective than the other.

Which broad head to use will vary quite significantly from person to person. Many old fashion hunters that have been in the sport for a number of decades now prefer to stick to the old fashion methods of using a fixed broad head. Looking at a fixed broad head in more detail is known to show the benefits that it has.

We are going to take a look at why mechanical broad heads have taken over the traditional fixed broad heads; and whether the change has really been for the better.

The mechanical broad head is known to have a number of advantages in comparison to a fixed broad head. One of the first advantages that you can expect to gain with a mechanical broad head is the accuracy that it has to offer. The four point fixed blade which can be altered in angle, is known to have a much firmer grip in comparison to a fixed broad head. This ensures that target killing is much easier.

Another advantage that you can only get with a mechanical broad head is the fact that it is known to penetrate the prey's body much deeper than a traditional fixed broad head. On average, the mechanical broad head is able to cause a wound of at least two inches. This ensures that the prey is killed with one single shot.

If you are looking to buy mechanical broad heads, one of the best places where you can look is online. There are many online web stores that are currently offering a wide variety of models to choose from. If you do decide to use this as an option, it is important that you look for an online store that is both trustworthy and reliable.
