What type of broadhead should be used for big game hunting to ensure a quick and humane kill?

Blunt tip
Fixed blade
Mechanical
Barbed

The correct answer is: Fixed blade

Broadheads are an important aspect of hunting equipment and it is essential to choose the right one for the type of game you are hunting. Blunt tip broadheads do not have sharp edges and are typically used for small game hunting as they do not penetrate deeply. Mechanical broadheads have expandable blades that open upon impact, but they have a higher chance of malfunctioning and not causing a quick and humane kill. Barbed broadheads have extra hooks on the blades, which can cause unnecessary suffering to the animal. Therefore, the best option for big game hunting is a fixed blade broadhead, as it is more reliable and can penetrate deeply to ensure a quick and humane kill.
