T-23,

Do a search if you can, there have been many, many discussions on this topic.

I am currently shooting Rocket Wolverine 3p mechanicals. But I have the KE for them to perform well.

I also use the Rocket Sidewinders(100 grain). They punch a heck of a hole.

Cheque your state/province Regs, some areas its illegal to use mechanicals. I personally like the fixed thunderhead 125's for deer/elk, but have some friends that like the mechanicals. It all depends on how they fly and penetrate for you, but if you put any good broadhead in the vital spot, its a goner, good luck, Bobby<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
