Cammoman,
I have shot the GR Hades since they came out, I've killed four bull elk, and three deer, and two antelope with them, watched them all go down inside 50 yards. I shoot (practice) out to 80 yards with them and they fly great. They do however get messed up if you hit bone, I had to re-build three due to damaged tips and blades, but they did their job. I tried the mechanicals once on my first archery antelope, and only succeeded in zipping his side open on a sharp quartering away shot, when the arrow didn't penetrate, not saying it wouldn't have happened with a fixed blade, but it hasn't happened yet. Yes I did recover the antelope, shot him with a fixed blade hades, he went down inside 20 yards.
