Hey yall, im a cincinnati boy, however here is my take on mechanical and fixed broad heads....i have used both and still do, i have killed deer with both. For mechanical i use a spit fire 100gr. and it is awesome, great penetration and it puts a hole in the animal like u wouldnt beleive. For mechanical i use a muzzy 100gr, predator, and other ones that are available i have no favorite. I shot a deer this past year with a $3.oo dollar fixed broadhead and he took 2 steps and dropped!!! Other times it doesnt turn out that way, and for mechanical ive made long shots and dropped them as well. So my take is they both work they have both advantages.
