With all due respect, poor shot selection in both cases in my honest opinion. It's a bit of a stretch to blame the broadhead in either case. I personally never count on my equipment to help compensate for poor shots/choices, but to each his own. I have used both mechanicals (spitfires) and fixed blade (thunderheads) with good success and have never lost a Deer with either that I would blame on the broadhead. I'm going to try the 2 blade Rage broadheads this year, so it's back to mechanical for me. IMHO most (but not all!) Deer are lost due to operator error, not equipment failure.
I agree with you completly I even said he made poor shots but what iam saying is that I believe he would of had a better chance if the arrow stayed in and continued to do more damage as the deer was running or pulling on it. And like i also said if you make a good shot there's no difference in what you use. But in my opinion fixed blades are more forgiving when a bad hit is made.
