I think Bowhunting for 40 years, killing xxx number of animals using 30 to 40 different brands and models of Broadheads, at least twelve of which were mechanical should give me a right to have an opinion. Whether you agree or not, that's your decision. I have made some awesome looking kills with mechanicals no doubt 95% to 98% they work great, but I will not settle for any kind of malfuntion on the business end of my arrow. User error?? I think I know when a Bad shot is made and I don't need to blame it on equipment. Mechanicals will fail, name one thing that has moving parts that has never malfuntioned?

For what advantage? I see No advantage to them at all. My heads fly like a field point, cut a massive 10 guage hole, and are tough as steel. O they are Steel!! I just refuse to take a chance on dealing with a malfunction for no reason if you do, then more power to you.
I won't argue any more about that fact on this thread.

I kept telling a friend about how mechanicals will malfunction. Well last year he hit a Buck witha perfect shot and only 1 out of 3 blades opened. I found him through a lot of hard tracking for almost a quarter of a mile.
Guess what he is not shooting anymore?
