Dependability? Every BH can and will fail at one time or another and just because it's mechanical doesn't mean it will fail more often. I promise you the person behind the arrow will fail much more often than the BH. I shot fixed for 20 years and IMO I see Rage overall as a more dependable BH.
Possibly one of the most ridiculous statements ive ever heard on the internet...
Duh the person behind the bow will fail more times than the equipment, but what the hell does that have to do with construction and dependability??? Absolutely nothing unless you are going to keep arguing in circles and possibly pull out the "rage will still keep even on bad shots" card
And yes, being statistical, a mechanical object with a dynamic change will fail more than a static 10 to 1... You are crazy if you really believe that a fixed head will "fail" more than a mechanical???
So now to you....
What on a fixed blade can fail period??? Other than blades breaking and ferrules snapping, which is entirely material related, nothing... Its not going to open prematurely or not open at all like a mechanical can. It is a static and unless the construction is broken, it CANNOT fail.
