Learned something new today

I kinda realized no one has even defined accuracy.

Is accuracy hitting with your field points?

Is accuracy tight groupings of the same headed arrow, regardless or correlation to field points?

Is accuracy tight groupings of a group of headed arrows?

With hunting, I would think accuracy would be judged based on dispersion of BH-tipped arrows around the aiming point. Field points don’t belong in the discussion.

ok, so some quick research has basically shown that we are all correct lol. so what I was thinking is actually considered neutral, meaning if the force on the front is equal to the force on the back then the projectile is dynamically stable but will not correct if yaw is induced after the fact. if the force is forward then it is considered unstable. if force is rearward then it allows correction when and if yaw is introduced.
so, now I have to figure out how much force is applied to each broadhead design and how much force needs to be applied to fletching to maintain no less than a neutral arrow. not gonna happen lol. so are fixed less accurate or less forgiving? guess that really depends on head design and fletching selection and COP. We all agree its alot easier to use mech. heads.

Op do you think the guy meant more forgiving? He may have said more accurate but meant forgiving..
If that's the case then I agree with him. Everyone has perfect form standing in the yard or at the range. Try to achieve perfect form shooting up hill side hill or from 20 ft up a tree . You can accidentally introduce enough torque in those situations to make a broadhead tipped arrow veer off where a sleek mechanical will act more like a field point..

I learned a long time ago on internet forums that the laws of physics do not apply to archery.
