RE: Expandable Broadheads

"WORTHLESS in my book, I have found way too many expandables inside deer that I have shot during gun season. Scary thing is, they were all good shots and should have killed the bucks and does if the blades had opened and or didnt break off when hitting bone. Ill stick with my Muzzy 4 blade."
I strongly disagree withyour opionion. I have been shooting Rocket expandables for 6 yrs now and have killed a total of 40 deer with them and my 2 hunting buddies are close behind me on kills all using expandables. (note I hunt PA,WV,and Ohio) We have never had one not open (knock on wood) in past 6 yrs of hunting together and we have not lost a animal during archery. We have each also shot a black bear using the same expandables.
As for good shots not killing a deer thats simply not possible. If you drive a field tip into the chest cavity of a deer and hit Lungs/ heart/or liver that deer is going to die. So I have a very hard time believing that a expandable broadhead not opening is the reason that a good shot didn't kill a deer. The only broadheads I have ever found in a deer which includes both expandable and fixed blades are on poor shots that only hit meat and not in the vital area.
I am not saying the Expandables are better then fixed blades. Every hunters personal choice and his equiment must dictate what type/style or brand of broadhead a person should or should not be using.
