The lightweight guys really need to watch more than part of one of his videos.

I have NEVER shot a mechanical head out of anything. I have always shot fixed blade heads since I started bowhunting in 1977 and NEVER had one fail, not open or bend. I currently shoot a 45# longbow and a 195 grain simmons treeshark 50 grain inserts for a total arrow weight of 545 grains. Penetration is not a problem. I also don't shoot 50, 60, 70, 80 yards at animals because no matter how fast a bow set up is a deer can nearly be in another county by the time those "fast" straws get there. Or worse yet gut shoot a deer because all of that speed wasn't faster than the speed of sound and the reaction time of an animal.

Just my two cents.
