Mechanicals

While I’m not going to be aiming for the butt, ya gotta admit it would be pretty cool to slice off some pastrami and be able to point at a defect in the tissue and say, “my broadhead did that, can ya hand me the kraut, please?”

If both lungs are punctured the cavity has to fill with blood before u getting stuff leaking out cause they are low blood pressure.....u hit more forward and low u getting higher pressure blood stuff so in theory if u want good blood tails double lung isn't really what u want right?.....I wasnt trying bringing up the mech vs fixed debate and apologize to everybody if that is what this thread becomes...

I just thought that maybe that too blanket of a statement....to many factors involved. If u could magically shoot 2 critters standing in the exact position in the exact same entrance point I would bet u still gonna get different results... Maybe 1 arrow routes in flight a little more than another causing the broadhead to be rotated slightly differently... Maybe ur release a little more clean on 1 shot vs the other......I don't know... Just my thoughts

I’m no expert, but all the deer I’ve double lunged with mechanicals have left great blood trails. Better than any I double lunged with fixed heads. I was very anti mechanical for yrs, until I saw repeated results from my hunting buddies who shot them. A bad shot is a bad shot, no type of broad head will fix that. You do your job, and it doesn’t matter if you shoot a field point the deer will die.

I’ve got a buddy who for some reason who thought he was supposed to put a mechanical through the clavicle. After about the 3rd deer, I asked him if he knew he was supposed to aim behind the shoulder. He didn’t know that…it surprised the heck out of me. Luckily all 3 of the deer (does) made it to get shot at a later date.

I'm just repeating what somebody who knows about medical stuff like that said. The extremely limited double lung shots I've experienced the deer fall over 10yds away from point of impact and I didn't even look for blood.
