For you Mechanical broadhead users

You know what gets me about that video is the fact that i watched the first few minutes of it and saw the head in ballistic jelly but i never actually saw it "shot" into the jelly.

having a good size open wound is not everything. what happens when you shoot the a sholder blade? will the flimsy blades break off, or will the tip bend first?
i stick with fixed blade muzzy's because i have had a pass through on a shoulderblade, 2 ribs and the opposite shoulder blade last year. my partner also put amuzzy streight through the thickest part of the spine and unscrewed the broadhead on the opposite side. he then put new blades in it and killed 2 more deer that year with it.

Biggest issue I see with those heads from the design standpoint is that the furrel and tip are the same material - aluminum. I don't want an aluminum tip on my broadhead! It will / can mushroom upon impact into heavy bone which will distribute the force into the material of the head - not the animal! Not good!

Their argument of using this head is that it flies accurately. My Slick Tricks shoot groups that are just astight as field points and they hit the same point of impact, why change. With a fixed blade there's no worrying about if it's going to open properly or not, there's alreadyenough things to worry about while bowhunting.

i do use mech rage 2 blade to be exact and they do just as much damage with a stronger metal construction and awesome accuracy. I am sticking to them 14 deer shot with them and the last one was directly through the fron shoulder and still a complete pass through with my DXT at 70# and 30" draw length the have preformed amazing for me every time.

I am generally a Silver Flame user...they open every time. 
Honestly though, I have had experience using NAP Spitfires....worked every time, no failures and never lost an animal. If someone really wants to use and expandable, I don't think you could find a better one.
