[QUOTE=Howler;3563021]
[What do you think works best mechanical or fixed blade broadheads I've used both and I've heard the arguements from both sides I want to hear everyone elses opinion and experiences. I now prefer fixed because they seem to to more damage when inside a running deer./QUOTE] IF you're arrows with fixed blade broadheads are staying inside, NOT PASSING THROUGH, a deer sized critter, then you'd best stick with fixed/COC broadheads because apparently you're setup isn't producing much KE to start with, and going to any of the mechs. would only make penetration worse.
I prefer COC broadheads. I always get complete pass throughs, even on elk, and that's what I prefer. I prefer to be able to locate my arrow after a shot and have a chance to determine how good the shot was from the evidence left on the shaft. And IMO, two holes are better than one!
his setup was a Hoyt with a 70 pound draw weight 400 grain arrows with 125 grain broadheads and the shots were all under 25 yards. Tell me that's not a set up for pass throughs. With 125 grain thunderheads I've seen both shoulders broken with one arrow. Still with spitfires no pass through just can't handle the bone as well as the thunder heads do.
