[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 511908, member: 9736"] Only failures have come from leg bone and scapula impacts and the screws come loose? What if your shot is off and you hit a leg bone? The more moving parts, the more that goes wrong. I read one post about a bent blade after shooting a turkey. Get your bow to shoot a broadhead with no moving parts and you don't need to worry about what didn't work correctly. Sharpen it up good so it will shave and it doesn't really matter who makes it. The less the blade angle the more penetration but if you shoot deer or turkeys the blade angle doesn't matter much. Most fixed blade broadheads are considerably tougher than mechanical's. The blade is supported along the entire length. The mechanical heads all have one thing in common, a hinge point, the entire integrity of the head is based on how good the hinge point it is and how much leverage can be exerted on the blade. Some of the hinge points are very weak, some have the hinge point at one end of the blade that allows the blade to bend easier. If you are shooting big hogs through the front plate or elk you will find out how good your head is. [/QUOTE]
