broadheads

Just so you all know…My opinion is based on a best friends luck with mech. broadheads. We hunt the same farm all the time and always converse, so its not hear say.
My bud shot 2 different bucks this year at under 25 yards each. The first one hit behind the front shoulder, the other mid. to high in the behind the shoulder area. Neither arrow penetrated farther than 4″ at most. Hardly any blood, we combed large sections for a couple days each just to make sure.
Now..This was the first year for him to switch. He has shot fixed for more years than I’ve been alive and killed quite a few 125″+ deer. (So he’s no rookie.) He switched because he had heard alot of the good things about mech. broadheads. But as mentioned earlier, it may take a higher poundage draw than what he has. 60-63# area. I believe that may be the hidden key to making them perform……But thats my opinion. Please don’t bash me.

I’ve hunted with mechanicals for the last 2 1/2 years the other 1/2 of this year I switched back to the good old Thunderheads.I shot Grim Reapers,Spitfires,Steelheads,and First cut EXP’S.Sure I killed some deer with the mechanicals but I also lost some deer,I shoot a carbon arrow and my bow is set at 63# plenty of power and speed.It was hard to get a pass through with these heads at anything over 15 yds.The mechanicals were fantastic for there accuracy but if you don’t get the penetration you’ll be in for a long night of tracking and maybe just a wounded deer.This is just my opinion been there done that. Rick,
