I use 4 blade muzzy's on beeman shafts. Very accurate and penetrate well, even on angled shots on whitetail. I tried mechanicals once and will not do so again. While I have no doubt as to effectiveness on a square broadside shot, on a strongly quartering shot from behind, the blade tried to open on the last rib, changing the trajectory of the shaft. The result was the arrow sliding under the skin over the ribs. Fortunately, this shot was on a deer which was already down with a spine shot. (this one barely penetrated enough to get to the spine.) On a healthy deer, I have no doubt that it would have been lost. I agree that they should be great for some circumstances, but I would rather be prepared for slightly less than "perfect"

FWIW
