RE: mechanical broadhead opinions please
I use mechs but I do believe that there is less that can go wrong with a fixed blade head. I have never had a problem with the steelhead but if there was ever a question in my mind I would move on. I guess a bad review or two would nudge me in another direction.
I don't know what the big deal is with the Slicks but I am sure tempted by a fixed blade head that flys like a mech. Maybe when I run out of steelheads. I am also pretty sure I don't need a 2 inch wound channel as a marginal shot is gonna cause problems regardless of the size of the hole. 1 inch is plenty if your letting the air out of them. >>>>Whack! |
RE: mechanical broadhead opinions please
I shot the wasp jackhammers for a while worked good on the first 8 deer I shot with them on the 9th deer a really good size buck[9 point about 240#] I had a quartering away shot when the swing open blade next to the deer opened it changed the angle of penatration and only got one lung; I had to track that deer for at least a mile took over half a day,if you use that type blade I would suggest only broadside shots.

Lee mechinical/fixed, does not matter... fun is not killing anyhow, its storys and hunt i like most... you would be shocked at type of hunters i am seeing now with mechinical heads,they shoot50/60 yards with compound bows on pipelines at doe,some dont even check to see if they did miss or not and some dont even look for arrows... there is program i am watching on tv right now on hunting deer.. he hit buck in the left shoulder with mechinical head, arrow fell off after buck ran 2 jumps,this was a quartering shot walking away.. that is terrible, i am surprised they showed this on tv...... no doubt a fixed blade would have gone in........ |
RE: mechanical broadhead opinions please
I shoot eastmans, or allens, and I also have used rocket, all three work great and I have them for my compound and also for the crossbow. The allens are cheap like 10 bucks for three of them but they shoot great and have never lost a deer when shooting them. the eastmans come in several different styles I like the ones with the big razor pointed tip with the three blades. I shot a doe at 35 yard and she dropped with in 10 yards of the shot.

RE: mechanical broadhead opinions please
I read an article that explained how a quartering shot is a much better shot than broadside. I'll see if I can find it. Maybe not with a mechanical though.

RE: mechanical broadhead opinions please
The reason I want to try mechanicals is I tried 3 kinds of broadheads and they all shot low and to the right. I shoot 125 grain. Maybe I should try 100's and see if that changes anything.

RE: mechanical broadhead opinions please
I started shooting NAP Spitfire mech's last season. I won't shoot any other broadhead on the market. They work wonderful. My hunting buddy asked how I liked them after last season's crossbow season in KY and he switched to them in mid season. NEVER have they opened in mid flight. They don't have a rubber band holding the blades closed they open as the broadhead enters and the blades fold open towards the fletching of the arrow. This things are awesome!!!!!
