I dont think the terminal performance of a broadhead is very important.

If I chased elk, I'd certainly be looking for a quality fixed blade, but a quality mechanical has not failed me yet on any north american whitetail. Ive had best luck with Grim Reapers and been able to reuse them multiple times. The time might come that I have a failure, but I dont lay awake at night fretting about possibilities....if I do my part, im confident the head will do its part.

Ive Shot deer With 7 different bows - not even one fifth of the amount of deer that bruce says he shot.But tipping over over sixty with archery...

After my stroke, I had to switch over to a crossbow

Sing witch broadhead is the best is like saying which four wheeler is the best in a group.You're gonna get five dozen answers minimum

Ill stick with Cut on impact...

Ive lost deer before with Archery... so I understand what you're saying, yes, sir

I just bowhunt whitetails (and the occasional feral hog.)

I switched from Muzzy 90gr 4 blade fixed about 10 or 12 years ago. Had shot those for 25 years. More weak blood trails than heavy, but I killed a lot of deer and hogs with them.

Decided I'd try an expandable (Wasp Jak-Hammers 3-blade) due to the 5 star reviews that have piled up over past 2.5 decades.

Best decision I've ever made. These Jak-Hammers are absolutely perfect for my use. Wow! What some blood trails!

I've stocked up on them in case they stop making 'em.

Also, I've killed several thick-bodied north Missouri bucks with them...perfect results!

Great flight. Never failed to open. No deflection. Tough, thick blades. Easy replacement of blades. Ferrule does'nt bend easily. 100 grain...1.75" cut. And the blood trails...did I already mention the blood trails?

Those mechanicals do fail at times when a fixed blade broadhead would have done the job. Not very often but they work great until that one case they dont.

And blades break off fixed blades too. I've cut my paws while gutting on plenty of lost razors from Muzzys and Thunderheads and Wasps.

Like was already stated. (For deer) I'll take the huge holes the mechs make and accuracy over the fixed blades any day. I was a Muzzy guy forever, then made the switch. I'll never go back if I don't have to.

Spitfires and Rage are crazy devastating on deer. Being colorblind, I like a bloodtrail Stevie Wonder can follow

They do leave an impressive blood trail ill give u that no doubt. Never lost a blade on a thunderhead in a deer myself and have busted a bunch of bone with them in 30+ years of hunting. First time ive personally heard of that being a problem.

Wouldn't call it a "problem" but it does happen. Smashing razorblades through ribs will cause that sometimes.

At the end of the day, long as your digging them out of a dead critter what does it matter? whistle
