Wolf,

Newer is not always better. FB broadheads have been killing everything from deer to bison sincebefore first indian learned how to sharpen a flint. I've heard a lot of horror stories of mechanicals deflecting on non-right angle hits, or failing to expand, or breaking off the relatively fragile blades, or failing to pass throughand/or make a large enough entry wound toallow the animal to bleedout. As for arrow flight, if you tune your bow like you should, then there's no reason FB broadheads shouldn't fly well. The may not hit exactly where your field points do, but are you so lazy that you can't make a few minor adjustments for broadheads? In my mind, the advantages of the FB outweigh the convienience of a mech. To each their own I guess.
