Do you really need crossbow broadheads?

Front-deploying mechanical broadheads for crossbows have the advantage of offering a greater cutting diameter than fixed-blades, which means greater wound channel damage as the broadhead passes through the animal. Most mechanical broadheads have cutting diameters that range between 1 1/8” to 1 7/8”.
