I am currently shooting G5 Montec's
I have some vented Magnus 2 blade's on the way for my vert bow so I thought I would try those also

I have always used Cabelas Laser Supreme 100grs, in my Exomag. About $20 a pack of 6.
Wouldn't think of using anything else.

So many good choices out there
I guess thats a good thing.
I am going to both extremes in my testing
I want to try the latest Mechanical BH's and also the old fashioned 2 blade Magnus (I already know I will like these)
Thousands of years of testing cant be wrong

Funny man . . .that's the same reasoning I have with using a mechanical. I only get one shot, I want it to be with the fastest, most accurate broadhead available and when it hits, I like hearing that BIG POP that you can only get with a LARGE cut mechanical. Oh yeah, I don't like tracking a deer either.groundpounder wrote:I'm using the Montec G5 and am happy with it. Reliable one piece design and no moving parts to fail. Oh did I just slam expandables. Sorry but when your probably only going to get one shot you need to make it count.
Wait and see, as the large cut mechanicals start getting more use, we'll see articles about knockdown power in archery digest. The large cuts puts a deer on the dirt in a hurry.
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

I'm a very mechanical person and realize that mechanics can and will fail. For the same reasoning most of us are using Excalibur Crossbows. Simpler is sometimes better! Less moving parts and pieces, less chance for failure.
I will agree that a large cutting diameter is best, but for me I am not going to jeapordise reliability.

Same argument holds true for riding a bicycle instead of driving a car. I didn't see very many bikes out there today.groundpounder wrote:Less moving parts and pieces, less chance for failure.

There are pros and cons for mechanical and fixed blade broadheads. However, the moving parts argument isn't a very good one. That boils down to how well the broadhead is made and the materials used. There are some weakly made fixed blade broadheads out there too. Especially the replaceable blade broadheads. Same goes for mechanicals . . .good ones and not so good.
However, if we base an argument on the best vs. the best, then I see only one con as far as mechanicals go. The blades are weaker on the best mechanical vs. the best fixed blade. That con doesn't bother me too much, I'll take a bent blade and a dead deer, every time. But, then I look at the pros. The mechanical will be a tad bit faster. . . no blades to resist the wind. The big blades are more than just an advantage for the mechanicals, they are the killer advantage. You have 25% more cutting surface on average. That is an awesome number when you think about the type of killing we are doing. Then there is the accuracy . . .there is no way a fixed blade will be as accurate in hunting conditions.
Now I say most guys that are arguing against mechanicals are going about it the same way compound bow guys are arguing about crossbows . . .without the knowledge of actually using one.

I like both, but I havent had any issues with the rage heads.. I have read about failures in other styles, but the newest expandables out dont see to be having issues.
