Got a question about aluminum vs steel ferrules.
Alot of companies state their aluminum is just as strong if not stronger than steel....
But everyone I know says to stay away from aluminum ferrules.
Has anyone used a broadhead with an aluminum ferrule and had a failure, breakage etc....
Reason for asking is I really like the short low profile broadheads like the Slick tricks and ABC Sonics. Both have steel ferrules. I like the 4 blade of the slick tricks.. but I also like the cut on contact of the Sonics.
Went to Cabelas the other day and seen what I feel to be the best of both worlds in the Steelforce Phathead.

Short, low profile, COC, 4 really thick blades, but..... Aluminum bodies.
Any thoughts or experience with these heads or ferrule failures?
