Fixed broadheads v mechanicals

I know a bunch of people who use SHWACKER broad heads. I lost a bobcat and two does with my G5 T3/s so I went and bought some of those Dead Ringer Whitetail Super Freaks. I will let you know how they do when I finally get a shot off. But if you ask the majority of people they will say that any broadhead works as long as its in the right spot. Or if you adorn it with poison.

I use G5 montecs. I have yet to kill any deer with it but I know people who have and they say it is quite devastating.

My son just lost a nice 9pt he shot with a rage broadhead that did not deploy

Impossible. Ive been told by many on here that they cannot fail.

My dad shoots rage with his crossbow and has shot 9 deer with them and on 5 occasions it did not open, thank goodness for excellent shot placement. Now when the rage does open it causes serious damage. He wants to stay with mechanical and he is going to try Grim Reaper mechanical broad heads. I shoot Grim Reaper with my compound and I have shot 3 and they have opened every time and the damage is pretty impressive. On the other hand you can't go wrong with a fixed blade.

I shoot Muzzy. Don't have to worry about deployment because the blades are already sticking out

I tried to make this exact point on here awhile back (that mechanical objects can and will fail eventually) and was crucified.

Because your lack the ability to present your case in a logical fashion. And, you basically have no idea what you're talking about.

Then by all means, explain to me why mechanical broadheads will never fail. Im calling youre bullshite bluff. I believe you lack the ability to logically present your case on why a mechanical will never fail.

No offense to your son but that was not the Rage's fault. Your son made a bad shot on the deer. I have killed 8 animals in the last 2 years with Rage and every single one was a perfectly deployed boradhead with devastating results


People are so quick to blame the equipment.

All can fail. I have had more fixed fail than mechs. There's nothing about the mechanical nature that makes a mech. more prone to failure. There may be a poor mech design, but that's on those guys-not the concept.

And that proves my point. We arent even discussing the same thing, and I would have assumed that a person of your superior intelligence would have been able to distinguish the difference. I could give two fricks if they are both prone to failure. That's not what this is about. "All can fail" is irrelevant to the discussion. Also, while we're at it, if you really want to go there, it's impossible to compare the two on your grounds because it is impossible for a fixed to fail due to mechanical failure because.........there are no mechanical parts.

That entire statement is contradictory.
