It drives me crazy that people think that they need a huge mechanical to kill a deer.I've killed somewhere around 15 deer with wasp jackhammers and rocket sidewinders.I killed every deer but it was a rare occurance when I didn't ruin a broadhead.I've also killed deer with muzzys and wasp's and never had an issue.i will agree that I did heave a hard time getting some of the muzzys to spin strait.For the past several years,I've killed over 30 deer with slicktricks.I've only had one deer run out of sight,always get a passthrough and haven't ruined one head.In fact,two years ago,I killed a gobbler and 4 deer with the same head.

I read an article where Terry Drury was praising the rage heads because they no longer have to track deer 300 yards.I've lost track of how many deer I've killed but I've never had to track a deer anywhere near that far if it was fatally hit.In fact,I can't remember one time in the past 30 years where I didn't see or hear the deer crash if it was hit in the vitals,regardless of the bn being used.

To me the perfect broadhead is one that is reasonably priced, manufactured to tight tolerances,is sharp,penetrates well and holds together.A number of good fixed heads fit that description.I've yet to find a mechanical that does.You don't need to throw a friggin axe through an animal to kill it.The marketing hype is out of control today.

I'm on a committe that gets called out to recover wounded deer in a controlled hunt.I've seen deer shot with BH imaginable,iclude huge mechanicals.The story is the same every time.A good shot drops them within a very short distance everytime.A poor shot results in a tough tracking job unless the hunter backs out immediately.Two years ago,I helped recover 5 gut shot deer.In every case,the hunter left the area immediately and we came back the next morning.All of the deer were found the next morning within 100 yards of where they were shot and 3 of the five were still alive.One of them was shot with a rage.Shot placement and common sense ensures quick recoveries,not what you have on the end of your arrow.
