Just went up to Bass Pro today and bought my first bow last season was my first full season I was using my father in laws bow, been browsing for the last month wanted to stay around 500 finally pulled the trigger got there and tried the PSE, Bear, and the Diamond wasn't crazy about em but off to the side seen a Parker Ambisher for 500 RTS shot it and loved it ended up gettin it with the redhead blackouts 100 grain got home sighted it in and I'm ready to go the only thing that I'm not crazy about is the let off on it but other than that I'd recommend the Parker bows very smooth and u can pick it up with your pinky. The only thing I need now is broad heads mechanical or fixed is the question?

Congrats on the new bow! You have asked a very controversial question about broadheads. Both fixed and mechanical have EXTREMELY loyal fans and the two camps often argue which is better till the cows come home. Both kill deer. Both have advantages and disadvantages. I have used both. I normally shoot fixed because they tend to be a little cheaper.

Both fixed and mechanical have EXTREMELY loyal fans and the two camps often argue which is better till the cows come home. Both kill deer. Both have advantages and disadvantages. I have used both. I normally shoot fixed because they tend to be a little cheaper. Metamora is right. Broadheads are a very touchy subject among hunters. I have used both and harvested deer with both. I began using fixed blade then switched over the mechanical. This year I have decided to switch back to fixed blade because, and this is just my experience, I have had better luck with penetration with fixed. Muzzy's and G5'S have worked well for me but I am trying the Magnus Stingers this season. What it ultimately boils down to is personal preference. Don't get caught up in all the hype that some may throw at you, just find one that fits you, your arrow, and your bow. I think you will find that it all comes down to trial and error. Best wishes and good luck! Congrats on the new bow too!

Both will work given the right circumstances. The poundage u r shooting should be taken into account though. Penetration can be an issue with mechanicals, especially if pulling lighter weight. I only shoot 50 lbs so i shoot muzzys

I've seem muzzys blossom like a flower on shoulder blades I use rockets myself but am thinkin of going to rage. Good choice on the bow. I shoot a parker too and love it. My ex was gonna sell it and it came back without cable, string and quiver mount or sights!!!!!!! Well I called parker and they sent it all to me FOR FREE!!!!!! $60 later I had new sights, peep and string and cable installed! Shoots like a dream now!

I have gone back to fixed muzzy 100gr 4 blades. I was having trouble shooting low with fixed blades and missing. I went to rage 2 blades and they shot very well, but I didn't find either deer that I shot with them. I know it is all about location and the second deer that I shot was 20 yards and I hit exactly where I was aiming. No penetration, now I am shooting an older bow, but since I have gone back to fixed and got my bow paper tuned. I have killed deer with complete pass through on most. Make sure that the bow is shooting correctly. Find someone that can paper tune it (if you can't) so that you are getting every bit of kinetic energy straight down the arrows shaft. The fixed blades will tell you that your bow is not shooting perfectly. If you shoot field tips and are getting 2 inch groups at 20 yards, and then you screw on fixed blades and your group stays the same, but moves up, down, or sideways the bow is out of alignment somewhere.
