[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5469711, member: 1409"] I've experimented for many years with some mechanicals vs. fixed. Mechanicals are simply less reliable, and you are less likely to get a complete pass thru with them. [B]I shoot fixed. My current go-to head is the 4-blade Slick Trick Viper. And you will not go wrong with the original Slick Trick.[/B] Another thing, most mechanicals hit a deer much like you might sideways with a knife blade; whereas, most fixed blades have a much more gradual sloping blade, actually sticking the deer rather than slapping it. Kinda like the difference between sticking a deer with a sharp-pointed spear vs. hitting a deer with a hatchet. By comparison, not only are fixed blades more likely to pass thru, but deer often don't notice they've been hit, whereas they do more notice the mechanicals (more likely to run quickly compared to just walking off with fixed).
