Title: Best Broadhead choice 2 blade or 3 or 4 or UGH!!!!!
Post by: Joey V. on April 27, 2010, 05:51:51 pm: I just finished a Penobscot double bow out of hickory and she is a shooter and fast too chrono’s around 160 fps! I have a question about broadheads though. Being new to traditional archery, I don't feel comfortable yet using trade points or Obsidian…yet. I am considring Magnus Stinger broadheads but should I use bleeder blades or just the two blade version for deer? I am interested in the best blood trail and quickest kill so 4 blades seems to make more sense than two right? I am worried that penetration might not be good enough with the inclusion of bleeder blades although they are pretty small. For years I have been all caught up in the marketing and crap out there with compounds and speed and now just over analyze everything because these self bows are half as fast. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks
Joey V.

I don't worry about having a good blood trail as much as I worry about hitting where I want. An arrow in the right spot is sooooo much better than an arrow in a bad spot that may leave a better blood trail but is not a killing shot!!
