The fact is a mechanical is the best with a good shot. Fixed heavy is better if it may hit bone. They both do what they were designed to do respectively.
Im going to ask a tracker. When a self professed no it all tells me what trackers think, im out. Talk to anyone who is a tracker they will likely say a heavy fixed blade passthrough is the best.
Compound hunters use expandables, and I watch compound guys getting ready for the season down at the range, and most are very mediocre shots, they are closing the margin in skill with he expandable heads, practice more, shooting paramount.
I will say most hunters are uneducated in terms of deer anatomy and shoot too high and too far back. Expandables have a larger cutting diameter making this bad shot more likely to be fatal. Shot placement wins the broadhead debate 10 out of 10 times. Hit bone should have shot fixed, hit back and big cut expandables would have killed him.
This is a red herring argument. How many expendables have you seen whether on tv or in person don’t penetrate on a perfect shot? Or don’t work and never deploy? I personally have had one never deploy and it only went in 3”. That deer laughed at me. I have never had a failure with a single or double bevel Magnus or Toughhead.
If they're finding more expandibles, it's because they're getting more calls for expandibles. The only thing you said that was right is "what kills an animal as fast as possible is blood loss." The best shot for the greatest blood loss is in the heart or the front of the lungs, near the heart.
Blood lose is not the fastest way to kill a deer, the fastest way is a heart shot which causes blood flow to stop regardless of how much blood spills on the ground. Another faster way is to pass through both lungs, which causes an inability to put oxygen in the blood
I wouldn’t trust the people that have to use dogs to find their deer I would actually take tha as mechanical broadheads need dogs more often then fixed blade heads
My last 6 deer have all died within 20 yards with fixed blades. 200lb 10 pt took 2 steps. I had too many expandables only penetrate 6” then there is no blood trail, just a wounded deer. Outlaw expandable broadheads!
Good for one thing and that's…. What? Going through the what? Dude talked over him I can't understand what he's saying? Not that it really matters I've hunted fixed heads my whole life with no plans on changing. Maybe he's right but I personally just didn't like the chance of expandable heads not opening.
It’s as simple as this period. A great shot will be great using a field tip. A bad shot, it’s unarguable can turn into a lethal shot with an expandable head in certain scenarios. I’m taking the most forgiveness I can every time. I’ve yet to have an expandable make my shot worse, but I’ve had plenty of scenarios using fixed that I wish I had an extra inch of cutting diameter.

Never forget him pulling all these fish out if his boat for the game warden to ID for him.
"Whatever they are we've been killing a LOT of 'em"
Penetration. Two holes are better than one. Fixed blade for the giggity giggity win.
Bullshit fixed blades all day 👍
I run QAD Exodus Fixed. Some of the best penetrating heads on the market!

Do more steroids and call it TRT.
Its just like everything else in this world, if one was actually better then the other, there would only be one.

I don't make my decision based on my fail points. I make my decision when I take the shot…..I shoot fix blades and don't have to worry.

There for we use a fixed blade just incase we hit bone
They find more expandables because there are way more expandables.
He needs to lay off the steroids.
Sound like shot placement is paramount. Which application provides the most consistent placement metric on the animal to cause hemorrhage?
I’ve bow hunted for decades using thunderhead 125 n rocket 🚀 125 steelhead expandables.
Guess which one was better n noticeably ?
The rocket steelhead 125 gr was The BEST BROADHEAD I’ve ever used
I can’t find them anymore !!
Massive blood loss and extremely quick kills with the rocket aerowheads steelhead 125 gr heads
