bad information. the only time a smaller fixed blade will out perform a large mechanical is when they are shot through steel barrels. common sense says when you have larger blades that have less support, due to their function by opening on impact, from their ferrule, will usually break before smaller blades that have full length contact with the ferrule for support.

mechanicals do what they are designed to do and they do it very well. yes a fixed head is on average a stronger head but we are not hunting steel barrels. any mechanical on the market today is more than capable of killing any animal in North America.
