You really should try them some time personally before dismissing them as gimmicky. If you have tried them personally I apologize.
Were you having trouble tracking well hit deer before?
What has your biggest or most occurring problem shooting deer with a bow?
I bet blood trails on well hit deer is not even in the conversation. Penetration is a much bigger issue assuming you hit the font half of the deer.
I assure you a toxic broadhead won't leave as good of a blood trail with only a high entrance wound and lodged in the far shoulder as a simple broadhead will penetrating that far shoulder.
Shooting from a tree and not penetrating that far shoulder is a much bigger problem than the amount of blood from a well hit deer.
Not penetrating the back shoulder is simply a way bigger cause of lost deer than not enough blood on well hit deer.
I bet you have never in your life lost a deer that had both lungs popped and a pass through and the best design to get both of those things is a simple fixed head.
