This is not meant to be a mechanical vs fixed debate. I am planning on using spitfire Edge broadheads this year but have "heard" that mechanicals are subject to failure at steep angles and / or if the deer is not perfectly broadside. My concern is that I hunt about 25' up in air and my shot is appr. 25 yds so its a pretty steep angle. I now hand it over to yall to share your experiences.

Angled shots can be difficult with some mechanicals, though that is increasingly not a problem as technology improves.
It's no secret on the GS that I am a HUGE fan of Grim Reaper broadheads. Their independent, spring loaded blades make it virtually impossible for them to not open regardless of the angle.
