hey bigbuck just FYI the spitfires are the reason I switch back to fixed blade. My uncle and I hunt together and he has lost two big bucks because of them. The first may be just bad luck. He had the deer right under his stand and burried the arrow upto the nock right between the shoulder blades and somehow missed the vitals. We believe that after the shot fixed blades do alot of damage when lodge inside the chest cavity and the chances would have been alot better having a fixed blade in the chest like that. The second buck was quartering towards him his shot was a little further back than he wanted but still could have hit the liver or other major organ. He watched his buck with blood just spraying everywhere start walking in circles like it was going to drop instead it actually reached Back and pulled the arrow out. That would never happen with a fixed blade he actually would most likely finIshed him self off. With a mechanical when the blades open they only cut one way and then close when pulled on. But if you can make a perfect shot everytime you've got nothing to worry about a double lung shot is the same no matter what you use.
