Last year I bought some mech's but never used them. I just didn't want to risk it. This year, I will be packing 125 Grain 3-Blade Muzzys and 125 grain Rocky MT Snypers with me.

As far as a mechanical being prone to failure, yes it may be, but not to the extent that alot of people push it to.

Guess what guys, fixed blade b-heads aren't perfect and yes, they can fail. How? Blades can break or pop out of the ferrule. If you are looking to get away from the possability of failure, then you have a VERY small selection of b-heads, like the Motec G5

Lets see, bows are prone to failure, releases are prone to failure, rests are prone to failure, treestands are prone to failure, ect. ect. ect....

Sometimes people worry too much. I am not saying that you should not worry about your equipments durability, but when you refuse to use anything that has the possability of failing, you are going to loose enjoyment and you are going to be missing out on alot of great products.
