RE: i need expandables
I dont know much about hunting, so I dont post alot(check that..... AT ALL). But, I do know alot about golf. Tiger Woods did play nike clubs due to his contract. He switched back to a Titleist 975D because he could not hit the Nike driver, and lost money because of it. So to think that someone would not use something they are payed to use, doesnt really add up.
I would skip the expandables as well. One more moving part to break. In my short but all too funny hunting career, I have learned the K.I.S.S. technique. Keep It Simple Stupid.Just my 2 cents worth.

First of all, why would you want USED (dull?) broadheads? and second, I dont think anyone is paying any hunter a tenth of what tiger is making by playing nike clubs, or driving a buick.

Like I've said before if you hear a guy say, I use machanicals and I havn't had any problems yet, yet is the key word. (Because it's only a matter of time) I used them for4 years and only had two problems with them and shoot two deer a year. Thatsa pretty good record, but, not good enough when your taking a live animal. I had a Teyken II not open up at all, made a bullet hole in the deer, went through her hart at 10 yards and didn't leave a blood trail. (WOW) Jackhammer hit bone and went in about an inch and wounded a nice buck. Only two problems but that is toooooo many.
Why use a expandable when there are more durable fixed blade heads that fly like field points out there right now! I don't get it. Just listen to these peoples experiences about expandables, thats what these forums are for to learn from others. I know you all have heard the bad stories about them....learn from that and don't use them.
Try stingers if you want a strong sharp head that flies like a field tipe...oh and tune your bow...that helps

I've used spitfire 100's for years and they do the job. Never had one not open. I guess some mechanical broadheads can defect but I haven't had that problem, YET. It's just a persons choice, just like me shooting a PSE and someone else shooting a Matthews. Mechanicals can be just as deadly as fixed blades.

burnie, I have no doubts that mechanicals work well for you. Shoot, as many as there are to choose from, they MUST work to a degree or they wouldn't sell. I've seen many a deer killed w/ a rocket sidewinder, and I myself have killed a deer w/ an old Punchcutter (how many of ya'll remember those?)
I stick w/ my 2 previous points, however. MOST people use them as a bandaid for a tuning issue, and w/ all the outfitters out there, and even some states not allowing them, couple that w/ all of the fantastic fixed blade heads available now, and I personally see no reason to use them. But I have nothing negative to say about anyone who does either.
PS. I took no offense to flip's post, and actually found it quite humorous. While I agree he played his trump card a little early in the exchange, I hope he comes back, visits us, and even posts some replys now and again. We can all learn from each other. I'm not the end all of the archery world, there are many more out there w/ more experience and knowledge than I will ever have. To those of you whom jumped to my defense, know I appreciate it and was quite humbled to be referred to as a "respected archer and member." Ok, I'm done now......LET'S ALL GO KILL SOME DEER!!! And I don't give a flip (hahahaha) about what BH ya'll use. LOL.....
