For the most part they are pretty poor heads in design and quality. one exception is there new cut on contact head. The first cut XT is a pretty darn good head, although it's priced more with the better heads on the market, the quality and construction are also there.

I used some expandables, I killed about 5 deer with them, but i had them fail 3 times. I shot a spike right in the shoulder and I swear the damn thing bounced off, maybe 1" of penetration, then I shot a nice 8 pointer, right behind the shoulder again about 4" of penetration, deer runs off and I am like WTF just happened. 1 hog, no penetration.
I dont know what happens, why one day they work fine and the next they dont. Its like they crumple on impact , like how a car crumples during a collision, and they absorb all the energy and no penetration.
I gave up on expandables, fixed blades from now on.
