RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
Jeff I wanted to know the real truth about mech heads, it was not an attempt to criticize any one's choice of BH, I wanted to know if there were really issues with these BH and how they work. I still did not get my answer. so I will ask again, has anyone had a mech BH fail to open on a deer, elk, giraffe, etc....???

I have never witnessed a mech BH fail to open....and no one I directly know has either (A few other failures have taken place). So...thats probably 20+ mech head deer kills and no failure to open. |
RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
Thanks JoeRE. that is what Im looking for, and that's impressive 20+ animals no fail......Anyone else??

RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
I didn't shoot the arrow but was sitting next to the guy that did and I cut it out.
NAP shockwave 100gr. Shot out the window of a Double Bull Blind, not through the mesh. Antelope buck 27 yards, hit high and ended up witha spine shot. Buck dropped in his tracks but had to shoot him again in the chest. Dissected out the arrow in the back and the broadhead was completely closed and buried in the vertebrae with the blades in the closed position. Complete malfunction, I'm not even sure how that happened. Broadhead penetrated the bone with the blades in the closed position. I saved the bone with the head embedded and sent NAP a letter to see if they wanted it and never heard from them. |
RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
100% my MX-3's will be open on impact. But, thought about maybe trying a rage 2 blade.

RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
I've stated in this forum, more than once, that I did the "autopsy" on this animal. |
RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
I killed 13 deerusing Spitfires, and NEVER had one not open, EVER! That was with a CB, so they don't count.;)[8D]

What I can't believe is that people are surprised that a mechanical bh post turned into an argument, especially with Jeff and Dan involved.[&:] No offense fellas, but you're both usually in the eye of the storm.
