REDMAG...why would've the bears been lost if using a fixed blade? you never explained. Also, how big were the bears. i know that big boars have been shot with both. Just wondering how other guys felt about 'em. I already have some "shuttle T locks 100 gr." However...i wanted to try some mechanicals for the sake of flight.

Archer's Choice dvd's show how the spitfire will down a bear in couple of seconds. My guide hwo isn't a bowhunter adviced me against it. I used a fixed blade on my bear last fall and dropped him in 40 yards but it all goes back to placing your shot in the vitals. Study the boiler room of one of them before you go and have a great hunt. It's a blast.

I took a 6 ft 300lb bear in 03 , up in canada, am going back this spring. Sask. I used 100 gr montec and the bear dropped 30 yards and we had the moan at 40 seconds from the shot ( all on video )
got a 1/4 away shot, placed it right behind the left shoulder blade, down through lung,center of heart, lung and on the exit broke the right front leg. Also snapped the Montec when it burried in the leg bone.

After seeing what that broad head did, I dont think I would ever switch to a mec head.
They did well for me in the past and hope they do the same thing again in June.

About three years ago i used some mechanicals for about a month and threw them in the garbage. I will stick to my fixed blades. Muzzy 100 gr. 3 blade and 100 gr. muzzy phantoms. Both broadheads fly great and do a lot of damage.
