I shot a coyote Saturday with a Rage two blade expandable broadhead. Didn't really get the results I was hoping for. So, I ask mechanical vs. fixed blade broadheads?

Great question - and one that is guaranteed to get some dialog going. Personally, I'm a fixed-blade guy. I know how they'll behave, whether on a whitetail or an elk. Here's the bottom line with mechanicals: when they work, they work amazingly well - fly true, easy to tune and they leave a gaping exit hole. But when they don't work you are left scratching your head and wondering what you did wrong.
My guess on your coyote: your mechanical didn't meet enough resistance on the light-boned carcass and failed to open.
What do the rest of you think?

Fixed, I have used mechanicals with nothing but great results. I worry about that one time when I have mechanical failure and wounding a trophy. I've retired my Spitfires for no reason other than worry of failure. That being said, my Thunderheads and G5 Montecs fly just as true as the Spitfires.
