The battle between fixed blade and mechanical broadheads is one that will be around as long as bowhunting exists.  The decision on which to go with literally plagued me when I really got into bowhunting and archery.  Talking to different hunters on the subject was helpful to a point, but kind of frustrating.  The mechanical guys swore by mechanicals and the fixed guys swore by fixed blade.  Each of them had their own reasons for why they decided to shoot what they shoot.  It soon became apparent that I was going to have to figure this out on my own.  With lots of reading up on both types of broadheads, the pros and cons of each started to show themselves.
