Default RE: If push came to shove

BobCo, I hope you didn't take my post as not believing you, I was really hoping you would expand more on your personal experiences with both styles of heads. Thank you for doing so.

I hope 5shot chimes in on this, I don't know if he's ever compared the 2 blade magnus to say a steelhead. I also assume his tests are all done with the same bow and set up, but I don't know for sure. His input would be valuable here. Personally, I have never shot a Magnus or a steelhead, for that matter.

Trust me, I am on neither side of this issue, firmly on the fence, and trying to decide where best to put my foot down for me and my needs. I am very happy what you choose to use works well for you, and quite frankly my steelforce cut on contact heads have gone through any deer I've flung them at, but we can never control what happens in the real world. I'm simply trying to determine if of the premier heads in each type, if one offers more advantages and less disadvantages over the other to warrant consideration. Hopefully, Ben Franklin would be proud

As far as Rhino's and Elephants, I'm a deer and turkey hunter, and am focusing on them. I know I could kill a deer with and elephant gun, but why would I want to, if less than an elephant gun gets the job done equally as well with less chance things could go wrong.

I'm also curious, have you ever encountered some of the potential con's I listed for fixed heads, such as changing points of impact in stiff cross winds, etc.? I really want to know, as while I'd love to spend all day experimenting each scenario with each head type to draw my own conclusions, I sadly don't and won't have the time to do so, and must place trust in educated, experienced members of this forum.

I switched from mechanicals to Steelforce because the owner assured me I could simply screw them on my well tuned bow and they would shoot like my field tips. They did. However, the steelhead and meteorite have my interest fully piqued, and I'm simply trying to ascertain if I would be gaining anything while not giving anything up by switching to them.
