I would be skeptical of this design in the first place.It isn't even designed to open until well after it is inside the animal.
Again I say,not all mechanicals are created equal.

That BH design lookes like a real energy stealing design. Meaning it takes a huge amount of energy away from the arrow to open the blades. ...Not one I'd shoot.

Those shooting fixed blades, what are your patterns beyond25 yds.? For those shooting fixed blades, I am glad that you are satisfied with your choice but this is your choice. I changed from fixed to rage 2 blade and it was the right decision for me, but I am not about to change your mind. I am 4/5 pass throughs and all have dropped within sight since my switch. The 1 non-pass through was on a bird and it hit the opposite wing socket and almost tour the wing and socket from the bird, which fell of the log and flapped a few times. For me, it is hard for me to change back but I will need more success stories before jumping entirely on the band wagon. I will say that it sucks paying $40 for 3 BHs. Sure wouldbe nice to be the guy that invented them.

NAP Spitfire XP's. Fly like a field point and dominate animals.
They run roughly $38 for a 3 pack in stores...but can be found in after-season sales online for $18-$25 usually. My buddy swears by Rage 2 blades...so he bought me some for xmas. I'll try them out on a doe or two next season...but they better knock my socks off to separate me from the Spitfire XP's.

If your heads spin true on your arrow, it is not rocket science to achieve field point accuracy with any decent fixed blade head.

At 50 yds I am dead on with my ROSS(WAS[:@])
The biggest issue with BH not flying well these days is speed of the bows. These Bows shooting a hunting arrow over 300 FPS with a fixed head can and will have poor flight. Slow your arrow down, I like 250-260 FPS.
