Mechanicals came out as a result of people not getting good results tuning the larger fixed blade broadheads or being to dang lazy to tune them. I admit that some of the older and larger heads of just a few years ago could cause one to pull their hair out trying to tune them but those days are gone.

There are far too many fixed blade broadheads out on the market now that will fly every bit as well as a mechanical.Even at distances to 60+ yards. My personal favorite is the Slick Trick. Some other very good heads are the Magnus Stinger, Wasp boss and bullet, Razor Caps, NAP nitron, G5 montec, Sonic & Liberty heads, and Steel force.

IMHO there is no reason to use a mechanical head any more and risk something mechanical needing to work or break on the hunt of a lifetime.
