I can't see you pushing enough KE to shoot expandables. You have setup issues.

But my curiosity is piqued. When do they not open? How do you know they're not opening?

I'm perplexed. I can have them open pushing them through a sheet of paper.

I need to see a photo of how you have them quivered....or how they are before you shoot them.

field point would have killed one with a single lung and heart hit. I think you have some tuning issues if your fix blade will no longer fly good and maybe an expandable is not the solution. There are some mighty knowledgeable guys/gals on here that can help you out if this in fact the case...not bashing you just stating my opinion.
