Ok here goes.... i'll take the abuse from the high dollar broadhead fanboy association members...LOL
First i personally use fixed blades. I love the biggo cut that those mechanicals make, but i've just had too many people have problems with them and thus i don't trust them. This is on stuff i've seen with my own eyes, not a friend of a friend of my uncle's brothers sister. I'm sure there's a gazillion people that love them and have had no problems, and hey, i'm all for ya huntin with what you personally like...they just ain't for me. i KNOW where the blades are and i KNOW they are deployed on my fixed blade models.
Second...I don't listen to what i hear on the hunting shows. They Talk up whatever they are PAID to talk up. Whoever is paying them has the baddest, most deadly, "it's like a bazooka coming from your bow" broadheads known to man. Till next season when they change sponsors. So i let all that go and don't even let it come into the decision. To hear some of them tell it, if you just POINT one at a deer, it'll fall over in it's tracks. LOLOL : ) Besides...these guys are PAID to go all over the country and shoot AT deer. They ain't filling the freezer : ) (Ok maybe a few are)
Third and finally....... this year on my crossbow, i'll be using the fixed blade, cheapo ALLEN brand broadheads from walmart. Yup....fire away, i can take it...LOL. 7-8 bucks a pack.........i take'm home, inspect'm, sharpen'm to where i want them to be and then they are ready. They fly just like my field points do so i'm happy. I'm not spending 40 bucks a pack for three broadheads anymore. Now, if there was a visible, or performance difference that was tangeble i'd spend the 40 in a second. I just don't see it though, so i'll be the first to get on here and say i'm using the cheap ones. I've shot'm in the past and they cut just the same as expensive ones do. I'll spend the extra money on something that WILL make a difference.
Anyways...there's my blathering phoilosophy on the matter...HAHAHAHA
PEACE GUYS...HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE.
