MilDot, My point couldn’t be more defined than with a picture like this. Without reading the comments on the picture it’s not difficult to see what happened on this shot. This was not a pass through, but a quartering away shot with one blade of an expandable opening on impact with a rib. When the tip impacted it glanced off the rib and one blade cut from back to front. If this is the kind of performance and damage you expect from your broadhead, you stick with the mechanicals because you will see more and more examples just like this. If you want a clean kill with all the energy being expanded on the entire surface of the broad then use a quality fixed broadhead. Now you tell me what advantage there is to using a mechanical broadhead other than a short cut to tuning your setup?
