One of the main reasons I went to trad bows was Murphy's Law works overtime with me. The more moving parts it has, the more likely it is to break/work loose/fail with me.

Put a hole in both lungs, it's going down, even if the point is just a sharp rock. I've made a couple of lousy shots, and nothing short of a "Skillsaw" expandable would have made a difference.

The furthest I've had a critter travel, with even a marginal hit in the vitals, was about 65 yds. I'm sticking with fixed blades.
