G I wonder why that is. Must be because its hard to find a mechanical head that won't let you down. WCL

Very true. Ive had every mechanical ive tried fall short, at one point, on hogs (with the exception of the spitfire). Never on deer. But still, they have failed at one point or another.

Hey burnie, I was just wondering what kind of problems you have run into with various mechanicals. It sounds like you have shot quite a few different ones. I have personally only shot spitfires for mechanicals. I have had absolutely no problems at all, which is a good thing!

Problem I have seen in Colorado hunting elk, one of the guys shot the grim reapers and we all told him to put his muzzys back on because one of the other guys the year before had mech. heads and hit 2 elk with no recoveries and all good hits. Well he left em on anyway. 3rd day of hunt he shoots a cow at 20 yards, keep in mind he shoots a new very fast bow, perfect setup, hit her one lung and liver arrow never exited at all just stuck in other side of her, she bedded after going 40 yards and her calf and a bull the guy never saw there bedded with her. Well she died after about 3-4 minutes and the others got up to leave when she died. The bull came right past the guy after cow chirping, 15 yards broad side, hit him back, liver, arrow never exited,bull ran away down the valley. He recovered his cow and gutted her after finding no blood from impact to bed. Pulled the arrow out and it was fine, head too. Now why would it not even break skin on hte other side at 20 yards, thats pretty poor IMO.... Now for the bull we looked for blood for 300 yards from where he hit it to last scene spot. Nothin, we gave up and went to camp. Guy meets us on his ride back to amp and says he talked to one of our party and said we had hit a bull, well the guy found one and asked if it may be ours. Hedescribed the arrow and where it was hit and we said yep thats him. We go back, down and find the bull dead back up the valley 100 yards up from where he was hit, so he ran over 700 yards before dieing. We pull the arrow and sure enough the chizzled tip is busted off and one blade is broke off. Now how can you shoot an elk at 15 yards through the ribs and not get a pass through or even a exit of the broad head. Need less to say he tossed his expandables and put the muzzys back on for the rest of the trip and was thankful his cow didnt go to far and his bull was stumbled upon by a great guy. I've shot 2 cows at 30 and 35 yards with muzzys shooting 260fps one hit double lung through ribs and other double lung through ribs and off shoulder, both with complete pass throughs except the fletchings got stuck on the off sides hide. I've heard many other break and no pass throughs of deer and elk but this one I had seen second hand. I've shot 4 deer this yearso far with the same arrow and broadhead getting complete pass throughs everytime, just change the blades and I'm ready for another round. Nothingbetter than beingconfident in an arrow setup like that. WCL
