I shoot my Thunderhead 100s out to 60 yds. Same as my field points.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Ramcats .
Do a little research on line about their flight and penetration. In a ballistic jell test they out penetrated everything else at a big trade show a couple years ago. Conan that works at Big Daddys in Bridgeport was there and actually saw the test. They are the cats meow.

just shoot field points and don't worry about arrow flight...duh...
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

What broadhead fly's most like a field point ? As far as fixed heads go u want find a better flying head tha Ramcats. Slick Tricks as well as QAD Exodus fly great also.

if youre bow is tuned right then all broadheads that are the same weight as your field points should hit the same place your field points do

We need to hear from Shaw on reasons for differences in flight--mechanical vs. fixed broadhead vs. field point it all has to do with increased surface area and wind planing. a field point has less surface area than an expandable and an expandable has less surface area than a fixed blade. you can get away with a little more error in tuning with an expandible but with a fixed head, if your arrow is coming out of your bow crooked or unlevel then the blades of the broadhead will steer the arrow in that same crooked line. conversely if your arrow comes out of your bow slightly crooked when shooting a fieldpoint your vanes will quickly stabilize the arrow from the rear and send it on a straight course because the field point has very little surface area and cant steer the front of the arrow. think of it like, how could you steer an airplane with wings, how would it steer with very small wings, and how could you steer it with no wings. edit, I know im not shaw but this isn't rocket science

I think that's why Ramcats fly so good, guy that designed them did it with aerodynamics in mind, or so he told me.

Mechanicals.... Most will fly like a field point.
Fixed blade heads will fly like a field point as well, if you bow is tuned to shoot that particular head. tfd1224 did a pretty good job explaining it. When it comes to fixed blade heads, some tune easier than others. I've shot Slick Trick Mags, Muzzy's, Rocky Mountain Titaniums, Thunderheads, G5 Montecs and Simmons Land Sharks in the past. The Slick Trick Mags were the easiest to tune out of those.
When tuning a bow to shoot fixed blade heads, your arrow spine is very important. The closer your arrow spine matches you setup, the easier it will be to tune. If your arrow isn't stiff enough, it will be very difficult to tune. The way you grip the bow is another very important factor. Anything you're doing wrong with your grip will be multiplied by 10 when you screw that fixed blade head on.
Some heads tune easier than others because of the quality of the broadhead. If the ferrule of broadhead isn't machined correctly, it will wobble when spun on your arrow. If your heads wobble, they'll be difficult to tune.

I shoot Crimson Talons Company went out of business but man do they put a deer down. I have shot G5's was not impressed with the blood trail or penetration especially when they hit some bone. Can't beat Muzzy or a Land shark kinda head. If the spine on my arrow isn't stiff enough I just rub some Viagra on it.:) Spine is very important just like Shaw mentioned.

Been shooting thunderhead 100's for probably 15 years now with absolutely no problem but they do match my set-up.
