RE: Sunday evenings hunt- BH didn't open
dont forget a yote has thick fur....its going to soak up blood leaving less blood than normal many times....
i too dont understand how the o-ring got to where it is without the blades opening...though i dont know how that broadhead operates....
looks like a good hit with the fletchings soaked like that....but hard to say...and they are very tough critters and have been known to go a good distance and will get to cover before dying if they are given the opprotunity....

RE: Sunday evenings hunt- BH didn't open
I design and build things for a living,every think from simple mortars to drive parts for nuclear submarines.
If it is a man made mechanical produce with or with out moving parts it has theabilityto fail,fixed blades just have allot less chance of something going wrong.
Mechanicals have inherent faults that come with material and monetary restraints setting the production boundaries, the percentage of failures is not onlylimited to the manufactures quality control standards but also the assembly process.
Many of these faults are undetectable to the human eye and are only found after the product fails during use.
With a fix blade head a simple spin test will tell you if the ferrule is straight and if the blades are held firmly in place its a pretty good bet that the head will function as designed to.
For the typical shot on white tailed deer I see no benefit mechanical heads.

RE: Sunday evenings hunt- BH didn't open
I'm not so sure that the blades didn't open, and make get cleaned by Saskwatch just so he could mess with you for a change!!!! Seriously though, unless several of us have TOTALLY missed something, I don't see how the o-ring could get where it is and the blades not have opened. No offense, but that's just how I'm seeing it. If you're skeptical of those heads, get some Slick Trick Magnums, 4 blades comprising 1.125" cut is gonna be about as good as a 2.25" 2 blade on a sturdier frame that flies PERFECT!!!! I'll likely never shoot anything but a ST again unless my mindset changes, because I'm totally satisfied with their performance!!!

That is more than likely a tuning issue.

I use them and one reason why is they pattern better than fixed broadheads for me. That's all.
