mechanical or fixed broadheads
#11
Four down with Rocket Steelheads and all were pretty much double lung pass thru's..
That being said I also hit a buck that was "slightly" quartering to me square in the shoulder and did not recover him. I wonder now if a coc or some other design would have done a better job on solid bone..Guess I will never know.

Top shot is a G5 fixed blade. Bottom is a mechanical two blade Rocky Mountain Gator. Out of 6 deer shot with the Gators, I've never had onerun out of site. All died less than 75 yards. I switched back to a fixed for a while, but now I am sold on the 2 blade mechanicals. Just my choice as there are tons of deer killed every season with both styles. More important than style of broadhead iskeeping the blades sharp.

I also use the Rocket Steelhead 100 gr. They fly fast and true. Shot a 200 lb. buck through the neck and it came out right below the rib cage. Really did a great job of opening and leaving a blood trail.

I highly recomend fixed bladed broadheads. everone is shooting those rages, and ohh rage this and rage that, why arent they passing through deer??? with bows breaking 300 fps.... THEY SHOULD BE BLOWING THROUGH DEER!!!! but their bouncing off ribs and comming back out.

With the proper shot placement, most any decent broadhead will be lethal.
