Fixed Blade vs Mechanical Broad Heads

Post by carperdoug »

Naturally this is a topic that usually creates a heated discussion. Not my intent! There are many quality heads available. The best one is the one you have confidence in.

This article is not based on opinion or perception but actual data. I personally found it very informative.

No doubt, mechanical blades are very efficient. But I don't hunt deer.....I hunt moose.

I believe that what you shoot and you are confidence in that broadhead is the one to go with. The market today is flooded with all good broadheads be mechanical or fixed. Over the years I switched over to mechanical and still use them today. One they are safer like Longbow Joe said . Also they fly really good and you do not have to tune them with a lot of time. As the saying goes to each there own. The one I use is the Spitfire Max 125 grain which I shoot in both my xbow and compound.
