???Best Mechanicals???
I have always shot fixed heads and with out any problem but i want to experiment with mechanicals this year i shoot 100 grain heads. I generate between 75ft. lbs and 90 ft. lbs of KE depending on which bow im shooting. i want something with a pretty big cutting diameter. I hunt al sorts of animals so im not just shooting deer thanks for the input

RE: ???Best Mechanicals???
I've got very limited experience with mechanicals. Got tired of fooling with 'em after one summer of experimenting. They all had some kind of some kind of problem. Either they didn't function properly without being cleaned up and fixed, or the blades weren't up to snuff for sharpness. All but one, that is.
The NAP Shockwaves were the only mechanicals I tried that were what I would call 'hunt ready', right out of the box. They were sharp and functioned perfectly.
With the energy levels you're talking about, you can use dang near any mechanical you want. Whichever ones you wind up with, make sure you check each blade on each head for sharpness and function before hunting with 'em.

The result - a broadhead delivering 1 3/4" cutting diameter, swept-back blade design ensures blades open immediately on contact.
