RE: Newbie questions on broadheads
Washington Hunter you are exactly correct. Mywayno you are also right that they all work. They do all work when the correct shot angle are taken. For example i would not take a hard quartering away shot with a mech. head for the fear of it glancing. I am sure that some designs are better suited to handling this problem, but i would still shy away from this shot. The quartering-to/facing shot are low percentage bowhunting shot regardless of broadhead choice. But if this shot is taken it should be with a COC or chisel tip head only just for the fact that they are a much more stout design. I myself like the fixed blade heads for the fact that i like the must rugged gear i can find and the reliability of heads such as the Muzzy and the Simmons Sharks are top notch!
