TFox, excellent post. What you said is spot on with why I use mechanicals and have for many years. Although I do prefer the larger cutting diameter, but again that is also part of the forgiveness factor. If I am off my mark because I'm twisted up to get the shot a larger cut may slice a main artery or catch the lungs or liver where a smaller diameter head would not. The blood trails that paint the woods and last only 50 yards before leading to a dead deerdon't hurt either.

Now I'm not saying that I, or anyone for that matter, should look at the mechs as a crutch. I shoot religiously year-round, I tune and re-tune my equipment, I practice as will be hunting once my set up is dialed in, and do everything I can to make sure my shot on an animal is as accurate as possible. As we all know, in bowhunting there is no such thing as a sure thing, so I try to stack the advantages in my favor as much as possible. The mechanical is another tool I employ to do that. For me the advantages far outweight the disadvantages.

Bruce, to answer your question I use Blazers with mechanicals, but I wouldn't hesitate to use them with just about any fixed blade head as well.
