If your good at tuning your bow then fixed blades remain superior in most aspects.

They work well when they work and they tend to fly better which is great if you don’t tune your equipment well, plus if you make a bad shot haveing a big hole can help a lot. They have some downsides like more likely to deflect if they hit anything on there way like grass or stick. They don’t penetrate as well as a fixed blade which could be an issue if you shoot light arrows or low poundage in the right situation. They could open if you hit them on brush while knocked before you even shoot. You can find videos of guys hitting an elk in the rib and not getting any penetration for example.I would have to say you have some good points but I have seen Grim Reepers punch a hole through the should and out the other side taking out rids on the other side shooting 45lbs on a big white tail in MN. I would say ise them if you feel comfortable with your shot. Use a smaller cutting diameter for bigger game like elk. Better chance for deeper penetration. Proactice with them. Found out after I sighted in my bow using fiepdntips and only checking my Grim Reepers for flight shot at 20 yards is that the grim Reepers are 10 grains heavier then my field tips.

I’m not saying they won’t penetrate just have a higher chance of not penetrating as well. On small deer I wouldn’t be nearly as concerned as with elk.

I had great luck with the Swhacker 2 blade, 100 grain expandables last season. Killed my buck with a complete pass through at 50 and he expired in under 100 yards and then I also killed a cougar last season as well. 24 yards complete pass through. I have heard great things about the Sevr broad heads but have not bought any to try out yet.Plus 1 on the schwackers. They work great on deer. I use fixed blade shuttle T heads for elk.

Are these style heads a one and done deal or are the individual blades replaceable?
Blades and collars are replaceable

Going to give SEVR broadheads a try this year. Like the old Ulmer Edges.
I am also trying SEVR this year and so far I love them with just practicing with them. Hopefully get to see how they do on on some meat and bones
