i've gotta say most bowhunters that i know are pretty afraid of taking a quartering too shot, you can sneak it in front of thr shoulder, or try right behind for a lung and liver shot.... but why wouldn't you wait for a better opportunity at a better, easier shot.


but as far as fixed/mechs... they both work GREAT if you make a good shot. i've used both and i use mechs right now, the G5 tekkan's
shot 3 deer last season with one head, all 2/3 pass-thru's, but the last deer was a 4.5 yrs old buck and i hit spine pretty hard.

i'm planning on trying some Grim reapers this year as well.

mechanicals have smaller profile in-flight so they tend not to plane as much as fixed, but they could fail to open, lose a blade...etc.

no matter what your using... even if you were to use a field point... if place right will kill a deer very quickly.
that being said i feel more confident in making that "perfect" shot with mech, because im never worried about planing.

both work great, try them both and decide for yourself.

just my $0.02
