[QUOTE="mthunter86, post: 513031, member: 26219"] I shoot mechanical broad heads and you could not get me to switch back to fixed. I have worked in 2 different archery shops across the state of MT for 10 years now and have heard all kinds of second hand negative comments on mechanical heads. My first statement is i have heard very few actual shooter bad experiences. I ask the few that have had a bad experience where their shot hit. i get the same answer 95%+ of the time.... i get a long pause and a well uh the shot wasn't perfect but i know my fixed blade would have killed that animal....wrong! don't blame your broad head for poor shot placement. the other comment i consistently hear and its in several of the posts here is "its mechancical what if it fails?" again 98% of people are shooting mechanical bows with drop away rests and so on and so forth. What if they fail? At both the ata shows i have been at in the last 3 years there were independent broad head tests. all heads were shot into ballistic gelatin. The top 5 penetrating broad heads both years were expandable! After the penetration test the shoot the top 10 broad heads into ballistic gelatin with cast in shoulder bones from many different animals. i have yet to witness a mechanical fail or come apart in either test. i spend hours tuning my bow and have yet to find a fixed blade broad head that will match my field tip past 60 yards. my mechanicals match my field tips out to 100 yards no problem. With all that said i will stick with my mechanicals and keep adding to the successful kill counts. [/QUOTE]
