Bowhunting broadheads have always been of the fixed blade variety, until a few years ago.Fixed blade broadheads are traditionally the broadhead of choice. A fixed blade broadhead is defined as a broadhead whose blades are permanently fixed in the open position. They generally cut on impact which is a much more efficient way of starting the wound channel, the blades cut into the hide and prevent the wound from closing fully, leading to an improved blood trail. Fixed blade broadheads also tend to be stronger than comparable mechanical broadheads. Because the blades are fixed within the head itself and do not move they are very rugged and reliable. Mechanical broadheads also offer larger cutting diameters which aid in faster more humane kills and easier tracking through better blood trails. Mechanical broadheads do have some negatives, they tend to require a faster arrow speed to ensure penetration, this is due to the fact that they loose energy when they open. They can also malfunction and are more prone to deflection off bone, especially when they are opening.
