Everyone seems to have their own opinion and that's a good thing. Nothing beats an accurate shot, no matter what broadhead that you use. If you place it where it needs to go, then you will bring that deer home......
It seems like that as time goes on, hunters need better equipment and far more "killing" power than before.
why is that!?

I think we owe it to the deer. If there are broadheads that will make marginal shots lethal and accurate shots more lethal than more power to them.
I do hate that every "celebrity" is pushing them. I have never used one, but I do like the idea of a more humane kill.
To be honest, a field tip will kill a deer if it's placed well. Just like a .22 will kill a deer if placed right. But how many of us can consistantly hit animals in the kill zone? Those that can shouldn't need anything over a 1" cutting diameter. Those that can't or can't consistantly need a bigger cutting diameter.
Look at it like rifle calibers. These of course aren't exact but you get the idea:
1-1/4" (most fixed blade) cutting diameter = 30/30, .243
1 1/2" = .270. .280
2" = .300
Both types will kill deer. Shoot what you are comfortable with and are, most importantly, the most lethal with.
