    To be honest, i have used them both, I have found no faults in either. Its more of shot placement that makes them perform the way they are supposed to.

    Mechanical is for unskilled hacks that enjoy mutilating without ever recovering their deer.

    This is why steriods are illegal.

    Plus, Rage doesn't make their stuff in manly sizes. (125gr.)

    I use field tips.

    Broadheads cost too much.

    Holy crappola. GMMAT has developed a sense of humor. LOL That said.....
    You never heard anyone say their fixed broadhead didn't open or they didn't have
    enough power for penetration, or it was a bad angle or a small entry hole. If your bow is tuned, like
    GMMAT's surely is, a quality fixed is the way to go... IMO. All you have to worry about then is the
    shooter making a shot.
