mechinacials. dont think i ever use em...
 

i got some spitfire mechanicals but never shot at a deer with em last season. then talked to some people and read some posts on how they didnt open up and it was like shootin a deer with a feild point. i think i am gonna switch to 3 bladed muzzys.

I do not use a mechanical any more either. But I would say most of the "horror" stories you hear about mechanicals aren't true. People like to blame their equipment for their mistakes. I used mechanicals to shoot 2 coyotes. Never used one on a deer but my brother has taken many with the Shockwave by NAP. I see no reason for myself to shoot a mechanical when you can get field tip groups out of a fixed blade.

I would be uncomfortable using a broadhead that had to open in order to cut. Thats just one more thing I got to worry about and think about while Im tryin to make a shot.
I would, and am gonna prolly try, the Gator 100s tho.
Check em out:)

I switched to 100gr. vortex 2 years ago. I have shot 7 deer with them none have gone more than 60 yrds. I have to agree most of the bad press mechanicals get is from poor shot placement. Put a vortex with a 2 3/4" cut in a deers vitals he wont go far.

I use the Vortex, too, in fact that is what I started with and all I have ever used.

I'm done with them as well. Not only did my arrow pull out within 15 yards, but one blade bent at least 45 degrees......When was the last time you saw a bent fixed blade??? Trash.........

hey buck shot and isatarak. if the vortex came out this year how did you guys shoot em before now. do you work for em?

I think ill use vortex on turkeys this season, but not on deer. I cant say horror stories because ive never used them, but ive had so much luck with fixed blades ill just stay with them on deer.

Shot two deer with nap spitfires last fall. Both opened on impact and had passthroughs. Used the first arrow and head on the second one. The arrow and head are like new yet. Just touched up edge after first shot,but couldn't tell it had dulled any. Both were broadside shots at 25 yards. I wouldn't take a angle shot with one.

don't know who told you they came out this year but they are wrong because Iv'e been using 100 gr. for the last 2 years and use 125 gr. the year before so I know they have been around for at least 3years.
