I just don't understand why it takes so many failures for people to learn, sure they work most of the time,but a fixed blade works every time.
People spend thousands of $ on the fastest bows,hundreds on the best arrows and god knows how much of sights ,releases and assorted gadgets.
Yet some still take a chance with broad heads.
No,fixed heads do not work everytime.The blades break and bend on them as well,imo,that is a failure.
I had a fixed head cost me a deer once.[&:] Or maybe it was the shot placement.

or maybe my poor tracking job at the time.[

I will most likely be shooting fixed heads again next year,mostly because of price and noise issues with mechanicals.
I am also having a hard time understanding how the o ring could jump the ears without the blades opening.
