RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
So Vab, I dont really feel like reading 7 pages, were there any failures or not?[8D]

RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
My son had one open in flight, and a friend had 2 out of the same pack not open. I was with him on one of them, the other he told me about but have no reason not to belive him.

RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
I've been using 100 grain spitfires for about 8 years and have never had a malfunction. I used Muzzys before that.

Mez, what was entrance wound? Were there blade marks or no? I've heard of jack knife style heads swinging closed when stopped abruptly (like when hitting bone). I wonder if this may be what happened on that shot. If not, that is amazing that those blades could stay closed even passing into bone. |
RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
Never Had one fail to open, I did have problems with Rockets being wimpy blades. I have never known someone who had one fail to open, but everyone knows somebody who had a friend whose cousins dident open or some kinda horror story

RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
Tembry, I have some PMs that tell me they had failures or were hunting guys when they did fail. Not too many though.

RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
Last year was my first season using a mech broadhead, and I was very skeptical about them as well. But based on the recommendations of my friend and cousin (who have both used them for the past several seasons) I went with 100 gr Spitfires.Between the 3 of us, we killed 10 deer and 1 coyote with them with last year, and had zero failures.

I see by the PM's from mods and members alike I'm not the only sick of the GMMAT vs MeanV, MeanV vs GMMAT jabs. It's gotta stop as I'm getting too much press on it. I suggest to both of you to stay clear of one another.

RE: Ok, enough hear- say....
Well VA I have shot one deer with a Mech and it open and killed the deer.
When ever a deer is lost, it's the BH fault 98% of the time. If it is a Mech it's because it did not open, if it is a fixed blade, it's because the cutting diameter is to small. We are a strange group of souls:D |
