Doubt that. Sorry if the truth hurts your feelings. Your just a victim of marketing. I know, I know, you feel like an idiot now. I don't blame ya. But there is time to get that bow shooting a decent head yet and not some gimic like the rage because someone on tv told ya too.

Maybe your right. That big forkhorn you got last year really shows your stuff. Probably couldn't have done it without technology like the rage.

Creepy... seems like a have a stalker on my hands. I should have known that real men only shoot big racks, damn it all to hell. I'm such a woman for taking a management buck! Listen C-Bass... when the Rage robots begin the uprising against mankind, i will ask them to spare you and your silly little goat.

Let em get this straight and you stop and think about it for just a minute.
You haven't had any "shooting situation" problems in five years with mechanical braodheads.
Right now you are having problems just getting them to go together and function like they are suppose to.
You want to continue to use these same broadheads that are giving you problems right now this hunting season on live animals and expect not to have any "shooting situation" problems with these broadheads.
Good luck with that.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
Oh, BTW the last time I checked a recurve or long bow could not propel a 440 grain arrow at over 290 fps. but a solid and simply designed broadhead will kill a deer just as dead as a complicated one that doesn't assemble properly and do it mith much more reliablilty. Your logic in comparing a broadhead with a compound bow is totally flawed.

Yeah that's exactly what i'm going to do you dumb goon. I'm just gonna say the heck with it and wing a broken broadhead at a deer. Why do you have such a huge problem with the fact that i shoot a mechanical broadhead? Quit wasting your time preaching about such a stupid and worthless subject. Maybe if you put this amount of effort and energy into helping starving children or writing our government to provide free healthcare, you could actually make a difference. This is about as gay as the Mac vs. PC argument.
I know you are kinda blind to what BC and BB and to a slightly lesser extent myself have been saying here... and do note that the first thing I wrote on here was some advice on trying to help... I'll chime in on a debate in the spirit of good form.... but lets not get into name calling and what not.... those two dumb goons have (and this is a conservitive estimate) at least 45 more years archery hunting experience than yourself. They are doing nothing other than going with their judgement here.... and judgement comes from experience... and experience comes from poor judgement.
Of all the hunters I know.... and I know good ones and bad ones... I like to compare common trends among them.... especially the ones that don't know each other (makes it an even playing field).... when you string lots of experiences together among good hunters, you can come away with some dang near rock solid information.... just so long as you keep an open mind about it. Of the older... experienced and flat out good bow hunters I know.. almost all of them shoot fixed blade heads.... and ALL of them that shoot fixed have messed with expandables at some point. I may not be 'old'.... I'm on season 12 of archer hunting.... and I'm sure not 'good' compared to lots of those I know.... but I am good at tech because thats what I do full time for a living.... and over the course of 80 deer and hogs with a bow in those 11 previous years.... I've come to understand why those guys shoot what they do. These guys embrace technology and spend a small fortune every year on equipment... they are the first to try something new. One of them actually shot a doe two weeks ago with the new f-15 expandable and had really good results with it... mostly he was curious... and he is back to shooting wasps again... no complaints... curiosity satisfied I guess.
