Mechanical VS. Fixed

[Theekillerbee]

I personally am a big fan of mechanicals. I've shot them for years, and taken many animals with them. I had a bad experience with a fixed blade "flying" on me once, and I swore I'd never shot them again. BTW my bow was tuned, and I had even shot a couple of them with no problems. I've used and really like the SBP (now Swhacker) broadheads. They are a great design that is open after impact, however they do leave a 1" entry hole, so no complaints about a poor blood trail with the other open after impact heads. Once big advantage is that the cutting blades are not open until right after they enter the body, which saves blades to cut the soft squishy stuff in the middle that you want to destroy. They are 2 blades, which to some people is a gripe that say they can slip by a major vessel and not cut it, while others a benefit when slipping between ribs, instead of cutting them on initial impact. I was of the later view. The last 2 years I have been shooting Epek's, which are very devastating. They are a 3 bladed head, that open on impact, but deploy in a unique fashion. I've killed one deer, and my wife one deer with them. They leave a very mean blood trail, and put animals down quickly! I'm sold on the design. I have a picture of the exit wound, which is the same size on the entrance side if you want to PM me your cell number, I'll text it to you.

As always, shot placement is critical, but I'm sold on the mechanicals, and I sure ain't switchin' back.
