Any one have wind drift data on fixed vs mechanical

And I think the wind affects my ability to hold on target more as the shooter. It blows me around, causing a wandering pin.

Yeah, agreed…thats the point many are making.

Its common sense that every arrow in the wind is different…no constant.

My compound arrows- blazers, 2 blade- in a 15-20 mph crosswind don’t drift out of the kill zone at 50y….my recurve arrows -3” feathers, 2 blade- do.
 
So for you guys that carry both, my question is why? If you have the confidence in a mechanical at long range, how can you possibly not have confidence in at closer ranges when your arrow is on a straighter, faster, and more accurate path?
I don't have confidence in the penetration of a mech. I have confidence a mechanical can kill, but I'd prefer a pass-through and the most penetration possible, so I'd use a fixed 2 blade. I lose some confidence in the fixed blade at longer distances because I don't see the same grouping as a mech. I'd only take a perfect broadside shot at longer distance with a mech, where as a fixed at shorter distance, I'd be confident in taking a frontal or quartering shot.
I've had NAP Killzones not pass thru 2 different whitetail bucks. They stopped on the opposite shoulder. I've since moved to heavier arrows. Anything I've shot broadside with fixed has passed thru.
