Do mechanicals work with crossbows?

I shot this buck using grim reapers. (dressed out at 160 lbs) They fly just like my field points and do not open until contact with the deer. The arrow passed thru and I found it 40 yards past the deer I shot. I also put a doe down that a buddy had shot and again had no problem.

Yes they do. I use Rage 2" 2 blade. Rage came out with a 1-3/4" two blade this year.
My xbow shoots over 390fps so I have no problems with complete passthroughs with the 2". They leave a hell of a whole in them too.
This is a picture of the buck I shot last year. Rage in the cage.

i shoot muzzy fixed 3 blades in tenpoint. i shot a bear last year ,he went 40yds and died. looked like a garden hose of blood coming out the exit hole. i alway used 3 blades over 2,i just think the hole they make will spread more blood .
