Default RE: Mechanical Broadhead issue

A mechanical in many instances only works as well as the shooter; meaning shot placement is the greatest key.
This is why I choose to use fixed blades with thicker blade designs. I know that stuff happens and that if you hunt long enough, the best shooter in the world will make a less than desirable hit. I want the best chance of penetration and blades not bending or breaking on these less than good hits. Once again, Ashby's studies have nailed which heads do this best. He hasn't tested them all, but he has tested dozens of them. It's the really thick 2-blade fixed head designs that win in this area.

I agree with TFOX. It's the double lung shot that results in a short tracking job. Whether they fall within sight, has more to do with your hunting terrain than what broadhead you used on that double lunger.
