I've been using Rocket Hammerheads for deer the past 8 years and have never had a bad experience with them. The great thing about using a mechanical with that great big cutting diameter (2") is the blood trail. The deer do usually go just as far as with a well placed fixed blade, but there is usually a much better blood trail. With a well placed shot I can generally just walk along at a normal pace and follow the trail; even look at it 30yds. ahed in some cases. Mechanicals are not magic as some would have you believe, but they have their place. I still use fixed blade (Razorbacks or Monotecs) for hogs and would for larger game also if I hunted them. It's still all about shot placement! Have fun trying different things. |
