I, too, am very fond of expandables when shot out of a well-tuned rig. I took 26 straight deer with them, and have been bitten by the tinkering bug a bit here of late... With the advent of these new "shorty" fixed blades, I'm going to try some of them; I'll be shooting Slick Tricks this year if they arrive in time. I will however miss the huge swath the expandables cut, I'm sure.
