Default RE: Rocket Steelhead 125 Screw In Broadhead

Hey guys:
I keep hearing references to "not" using mechanicals on large game such as elk, moose, grizzly etc.

Is this view coming from experience or rumor?

The reason I ask, is that I've heard that mechanicals got a bad rap when first they made their debut.

Additionally I've heard that, like many products in a free market society, manufacturers have since remedied the original problems, and the top quality ones (like Rocket's Steelhead 125), are pretty much fool proof.

Alaska outlawed mechanicals on moose and grizzly bear because of archer's comments on mechanicals when they first arrived on the market. Now there's a big push to get them legalized. I'm told this is because they no longer have a failure problem.

Not having used them personally, I'm not qualified to speak on the subject, but I'd sure like to know from those that are qualified.

Thanks


Hunt Alaska!
