I agree with GMMAT, why shoot moving parts?Fixed bladeshave a 0% chance of failing. I have never switched from my Thunderhead 100. If you are going to expandables, look at spitfires. Have seen some pretty good holes left in their wake.

RE: Serious Broadhead Problem
 
I'm no advocate of "No moving parts" as a rule of thumb......because I have COMPLETE trust in my compound bow....which has a LOT of them. It just seems hypocritical to say "I don't like moving parts" and still shoot compounds. THAT was my point.

If you're shooting modern equipment (compounds)....they've come a long way in the "dependability" dept. I trust mine implicitly. I think mechanical heads have come a long ways, too. When one fails me......I'll rethink my position. I won't let heresay or conjecture sway me into a BH choice.

If my setup will allow the use of a mechanical head.....and I wish to maximize my cutting surface.....I'll shoot one without a moment's hesitation (along with millions of other satisfied archers). For my traditional setup....I wouldn't dream of it.....for obvious reasons.

Good luck.

I've tried spitfires and had mixed results with all blades opening. They do fly nice though. Went back to fixed broadheads, Slick Tricks. Very nice broadhead.

I don't like expandables. Slick Tricks is the only head I will shoot
