Slag,
I have more crossbows than I need, but have shot a few deer with all but one. The link that Nasty gave looks like a decent broadhead. I used one that was similar for my first deer, but after that went to mechanical. One of the first mechanical that I used had a little rubber band that went over the blades to make sure that they didn’t open before making contact. That might be something for Baloo to try. I do like that the mechanical give a wider cut, which is the reason that I am using them. I don’t know about the one that you fired that belongs to your neighbor, but they do have some power. I guess I like the fact that I can just hold it like a firearm and not need to be holding the draw on a compound – even with the let-off that many have.
