Default RE: fixed vs. expandable

MidWI, any bow on the market these days will have enough energy to "open' any mechanical broadhead on impact, BUT getting full, or at least good, penetration is/can be an issue if your set-up doesn't have high KE energy. If your set-up is questionable forgood enough KE, then it's best to stear away from mechanical for big game.
Now for turkey, mechanical is the way to go. You want a lot of cutting surface to kill them quickly, and the required KE doesn't need to be nearly as high, and it's best(IMO) if your arrowpenetrates fully, but doesn't pass through a turkey!
