[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 517713, member: 2736"] There are a lot of good comments for both types of Broad heads and like one other gentleman stated with over 50 years of bowhunting I have came to I conclusion that works for me without the loss of game.(Out of over 300+ big game killed with a bow I have lost two using this method) Heavy arrows. Big feather fletching.(5") full helical for stability. Heavy. well made broad heads with no more than a 1 3/8" cut. (The two deer I lost was because of 1 1/2" heads not passing completely Through). Heavy bow draw weights to help velocity and trajectory. Plus lots of practice. It is simple; An arrow kills by causing massive hemorrhaging and with a complete pass through tracking is much easier and productive. A Good shot can be just a lethal if it does the same amount of damage to the vitals but if it passes through it can improve the odds of recovery. My favorite shot (On Deer) is strait through both shoulders. This breaks them down and normally drops them well within sight.(No tracking) but with mechanical broad heads this not a good shot placement. Having seen many hits over the years by many different components and shooters the largest number lost animals have been due to poor choices of broad heads and poor hits. The biggest loss of Elk I have seen when a good shot has been made have been with the mechanical Broad heads, because of tough skin and failure to penetrate very far. I am not a big fan of two bladed broad heads but they are the most simple and dependable and with less bow draw weight will penetrate better. So choose the type of head you want to but be aware of there shortcomings. Good hunting. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
