I have no clue where this notion comes from but perhaps it's part of the problem. Any metal object produced by man can have a factory defect which could affect performance. A burr, an improperly drilled or machined hole, etc, etc. It is crucial to check out all broadheads before you launch them at an animal. And this simple function check (opening them with your fingers) will do nothing, I repeat "NOTHING" to make that head more prone to fail. In fact just the opposite. It's an assurance that it will work. Hell I have thrown away Muzzy's that would not spin true. You should check out all your hunting related gear before hitting the woods and broadheads are not an exception.
Another weird comment that makes no sense. Let me fix it for you. "Human intervention and manipulation of any broadhead to assure it's ready to hunt is an absolute must".
Thank you, you validated my point.
That broadhead was a complete passthrough, double lung.
Like I said the blood trail was gone after 50 yards.
Every muzzy I've had has spun true eventually, different blade/tip config always fixes it.
