RE: mechanical broadheads
The best advice I can give you is to check out my website www.broadheadtests.com read through all the info and then if you have any questions feel free to email me or post them here. In general though mechancial heads can be very effective if you choose the right one for you setup.

Anybody remember the old punchcutters? Those babies were pretty sweet.

ORIGINAL: mobowhuntr Anybody remember the old punchcutters? Those babies were pretty sweet. I've used the Vortex broadheads and had good luck. I've since moved to fixed blades just because I had heard bad things about mechs and quartering away shots. I never experinced a problem though. |
RE: mechanical broadheads
You guys are kiding , punchcutters were the worst mecanical ever produced .

ORIGINAL: ijimmy You guys are kiding , punchcutters were the worst mecanical ever produced . The worst broadheads I have had experience with were the Puckett's Bloodtrailers. They had the same concept as Punchcutters, but with very loose tolerances and poor quality materials. It felt like the blades were going to fall out of them they were so bad. To answer the original question, my experience with mechanicals is that they kill deer good.;) |

I have killed 5 elk in the past 5 years with Rocket Aeroheads the farthest track job was about 70 yds. Exit holes were very impressive. Shot placement baby shot placement.

Mechs b-heads are awesome! No one can argue that the Rocket Steelhead series heads are absolutely wicked! I've tried dozens of different b-heads on game but not even any of the popular fixed blades have compared to the incredible penetration I get from the Steelheads!

To answer the original question, my experience with mechanicals is that they kill deer good.;) The one Im thinking of had 4 real small blades , and what looked like a pin sticking out of the front of it , when the pin was pushed back the blades deployed , that is if the pin was pushed back . Ive been useing some vortex minimax heads for a couple years with pretty good sucess , I mostly used fixed though |

ORIGINAL: ijimmy I may have got the 2 confused , did pucket make both heads ? The one Im thinking of had 4 real small blades , and what looked like a pin sticking out of the front of it , when the pin was pushed back the blades deployed , that is if the pin was pushed back .

RE: mechanical broadheads
I'll argue that steelheads are the most wicked heads around.I've killed three bucks with them and broke at least one blade each time.Two of those recoveries were pretty tricky and all three of the shots were placed perfectly.I'm not saying they won't kill deer because they absolutely will.However,I see no advantage to themwhat so ever over a good fixed blade head.In my opinion,they have a veryweek blade retention system.Changing blades in a pain in the neck.They don't offer a wider cutting diameter thanmost fixed blades and their blades are very dull by my standards.I actually feel that they're one of the worst broadheads on the market.No way are they the best.

I did have one of the 75 gr wolverines come apart ( I recovered the deer)but Rocket made it right and sent me a package of Steelheads to use and I have been using them from that point on. |
RE: mechanical broadheads
Hey douge e they are not the worst on the market no way
|
RE: mechanical broadheads
They're the worst I've ever used.Small cutting diameter,dull blades and very weak blade retention system.What advantage could they possibly have over a quality fixed blade?
