    Absolutely! I plan on posting my whole report, with the survey results and the testing I do on the most popular broad heads being used now!

    Done, but I dislike the accuracy question. That feeds the myth that fixed blade heads don't fly well when in reality most of the time that person's bow is out of tune.

    Thanks for the feed back! I have done some research that a plan to include in my report. I couldn't agree more with you that tuning your bow is the solution to tighter groupings with fixed broad heads. There are several articles that cover the affects of bow tuning on accuracy and even go into detail on how to tune your bow. They also talk about arrow spine and fletching, and how these affect accuracy. These are definitely things to consider before you go hunt. My only argument is that I know too many bow hunters that don't know how to tune their bows or don't have the time to do so. (which I agree that it is a must but it is the reality of the situation) so for bow hunters that maybe don't have as much experience or time to practice and hone in their bows, a fixed broad head might be an issue when it comes to accuracy. You are absolutely right though!

    All done. Good luck and let us know what your grade is too. Wish I could have written papers like this in college. It would have been more interesting!
