I shot Mechanical's for years, still keep one in my quiver from time to time, but I've been shooting ST's the last few, and been very happy with them.
I've shot deer w/ Wasp Jak-Hammers, Spitfires, NAP Shockwave, and even Eastman/Carbon Express Wal-Mart Expandables. All did the job appropriately, and render animals dead w/ good shot placement, once I was saved by the LARGE cutting diameter as my shot was off mark d/t a deer jumping big time.
I've killed deer w/ Muzzy, TH'd, ST's (both std. and Magnums), and again, the Walmart Special Eastman Fixed BH. Each of them likewise did it's job when it was time to do it's job.
Of all the BH's I've shot, only ONE is extremely durable, and completely reusable after EVERY kill.....that BH is a Slick Trick. For that reason, they are the BH that is in my quiver. They fly great, are tough as hell, and do the work they were made to do.
No BH I've ever shot FAILED, only the ARCHER failed by not putting the BH where it was supposed to be!!!!
