The age old question it seems like on this website..Here's my insight...I've used both fixed and mechanical...I made the switched this past hunting season for the reason that I couldn't get my Muzzy MX-3s to group out past 15 yards..So I did my research on the net, asking other people, on here and other forums as well..I came to the conclusion that I would buy Grim Reaper Razorcut broadheads..I shot 7 deer with them this year, and got 6 pass throughs, the other I spined her and it broke off..The farthest shot being a step under 50 yards..They fly true and they are nasty after impact..Of the 7, I watched 5 fall, and none of my kills this year went past 80 yards..With all that being said however, its your own choice, and if you find any broadhead you can put in the 12 ring consistently then you will be fine..They can't go far if you put it behind the shoulder..That is all
