Waldo,
I never once said if you can't get a fixed blade to fly right; switch to expandable!? Try this, buy an expandable COC head & tell me if it shoots like your other heads. There is a reason why there are only 2 companies making them & both are not going to continue production as of this year. We tested these heads through bows set up by reputable pro shops & they were inconsistent even with each other. It is true that a well tuned bow will shoot well-made broadheads through consistently; but it doesn't mean you can shoot a poorly made COC expandable & get the desired results.
Good point Howler,
But the survey was done on the western half of the lower 48 & if I remember correctly most were elk hunters. (I will get back to you with the exact percentage) On the survey form we asked; expandable or fixed blade & a check list of game they have harvested. We did this 2 years ago & we are going to do the survey this year also (but try to expand to the whole lower 48).
