but I have actually got bigger wounds from my Snypers (not exactly sure how that is possible), and the blood trails with the Snyper was better than with the Rage.

RE: Which Mechanical Broadheads??
well I hate to say it but rage should not be in any body's quiver.
they are WELL KNOWN for failing to open, yes I'm aware that some people have used them and experienced the "Rage" as it should be. BUT anything that has a good 30% of its reviews of it not opening and wounding game, I'm not going to touch it with a ten foot pole.
I used Muzzy's but the don't fly good passed 50yd, I would never take game at a unethical range but when your 5 miles in the wood and the hunting turns to a survival situation I like knowing that my capability for survival shots are there along with my broad head capabilities. BUT this is relevant to MY area.
any way, I use hammer head broad heads from rocket arrowheads by trophy ridge. it is a 3 blade with a 2inch cutting dia. they fly and work great. but your bow must shoot over 260fps for a minimum speed. I'm not sure if there is a bow made today that is under 310fps

Be carefull when saying fixed heads can't fail!!! heck there is one fixed head that has been mentioned on this thread several times already "M" that when you bought a box of them 2 out of the six would have bent ferals!! I haven't heard of the problem now for a long time butthey did for along time also.. Walt

Also, if I'm not mistaken, mechanicals require more KE, not necessarily more speed.

Are you talking about IBO speeds there?

true but there is a fine balance of weight-speed-KE
I like to get my KE from a light arrow and lots of speed ( which is why I need a new bow
)
