Did I ruffle some feathers?

Drockw:

What is so ridiculous with the statement? The hunter themselves will fail more often than the BH.

Never said that a fixed will "fail" more often than a mechanical.


Your Statement:
"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."

If the hunter checks his equipment a Rage will NOT open prematurely and it next to immpossible for it NOT to open on contact of the animal based off how it works (or if you can, please explain to me how it's NOT going to open based off how it works). So it really looks like the only things that can happen, blades breaking and ferrules snapping, is the same as a fixed.

Have Rage blades broken? Yes
Have Rage ferrules broken? Yes

Have Slick Tricks blades broken? Yes
Have Slick Trick Ferrules broken? Yes

I used fixed for 20 years and then switched to Snypers and now Rage and IMHO the REAR OPENING 2 blade Rage is the best head I've used including all fixed that I have used.

I guess the difference between you and me is I have used both and don't bash fixed heads because I know most of them are good heads.
