Someone mentioned simplicity. Simplicity is in the eye of the beholder. It's true that a mechanical has to open on contact and a fixed doesn't, so the mechanical is more complex in that respect (and it's something that might go wrong). But mechanicals have less blade protruding during flight, reducing drag and shear and making them simpler to shoot. I shoot Rage 2's, and I like the fact that I can switch from a practice head to a hunting head without retuning my bow. It's simpler.

In most cases I'd agree. but I had a good vitals shot from my treestand and I almost lost one deer because the broadhead didnt deploy..somehow the blades got stuck under the skin in between the ribs and skin. The only reason I found the doe was because I followed her to where I heard her crash through the woods...and the point had punctured a lung and she basically bleed out internally.
