Title: What mechanical broad head for deer?
Post by: 257wbymagkiller on November 09, 2019, 02:19:43 PM: Curious to hear what mechanical broad head everyone is using and why. I don’t want a trashing of one broad head or another. Just what you prefer and experiences.

Doing some mule deer hunting late season and not sure what one to get. Thanks guys and gals.

I have not lost any animals using these. There is a set screw for the mechanical blade. These fly like field points. No adjusting my sights.

A couple of the hits were marginal and the 2” cut saved the day and I had a dead deer instead of what could have been a blood trail with no deer at the end of it.
