Back to the real world.... I worked for a outfitter after retirement. I have seen it all. I have collected a bucket of junk broadheads.
In Bear camp, the mechanicals all put holes thru the bears, you could paddle a canoe thru, IF, the client listened, and put the head thru the middle. I was very impressed with the mechanicals I saw, which are your standard ones that are advertised all over etc
Just have enough punch out of that bow, and the right arrow........ On Whitetails, well for some reason, guys like to take hard angle quarter shots, why I do not know, but you see a lot of poor penetration on them, with mechs, but the reason, is a guy does not have enough energy, shooting too light of a bow and arrows. One camp I worked at, the owner would not even allow them for deer. Reason, do they work, sure they do, but a lot of these guys that book hunts, just watch TV, buy stuff at Wally World, lay out the money and show up......
For the record, lots of good heads out there, but even a fixed head can do poorly.... Know your bow,,,,, shoot the right arrow and set up..... go to your local pro shop, no a big box store, and get set up right.......................
My favorite mechanical, is NAP Spitfire,,,,, My favorite fixed head for the compounds is the Ram Cat.......................
