I was listening to a podcast (either GB or Kifarucast) and Snyder mentioned NAP Killzones as good mechanicals, except that they took a huge amount of KE to open and they weren't a good choice unless you were shooting a bow/arrow setup that could stand to lose that KE. I don't shoot a setup that should have problems with KE, but I do want to maximize penetration and minimize KE loss. Are there particular broadheads/mechanical designs that minimize energy loss when they open? Over the top vs rear opening, etc? I guess it is something I never thought of, and it got me wondering. Is there any empirical or anecdotal evidence that a certain design or company is better for maintaining KE? Thanks.
This is not intended to be a forum to tell me that mechanicals suck and fixed blade broadheads take 0 KE to open.
