I agree completely, just that even comparing say, shots that went in the center of the lungs, rage has given me better blood trails compared to the fixed blades I shot for several years. I also think a lot of it has to do with the individual deer, I’ve seen deer die within 50 yards of being shot through the lungs and others make it 300+ with a similar shot using the same broad heads, which kinda lead me to believe that the competition for the “best” broad heads was a lot of hype as there are just too many variables.The short of it is that a well placed shot is going to give you she best blood and the shortest track job no matter what the head. With that being said mechanicals can over come a poorly tuned bow and their cut diameter gives you a larger margin of error. A mechanical will eventually fail, it happened to me. It all comes down to what suits your preferences and what level of risk/reward you are willing to accept.
