Broadhead design and Blood Trails

[ACLakey]

As we all know there are some really good broadheads on the market right now. I am trying to figure out what type of broadhead will produce the the largest wound due to it's design.

So here are the assumptions.

Both types have blades of equal sharpness
both are accurate and hit where you aim them
both types stay together
Both heads are similar cutting diameter and the same blade count.

Now with that out of the way, what style of the below broadheads will produce a larger wound due to it's design.

1) A short ferrel broadhead with a steep blade angle
2) a longer ferrel with a wedge type design.

I am thinking type (1) will produce a larger wound due to the cut being a push type cut. Meaning the tissue is pressed against the edge causing the wound to be larger than the actual head size. Type (2) would push tissue outward and the blades will cut as a knife would. This causing a same dia wound channel as the head dia.

So what are your thoughts and or experiences?

On hogs, I do better with the wedge type head. The Magnus Snuffers 125gr produce a good hole for me.

I doubt it makes as much difference the design of the Broadhead as it does Shot placement. I've had some Blood Trails a Blind man could follow with some pretty little broadheads.

I prefer the designs like the wensel woodsmans, Razorcaps, and all the designs that at of a 3:1 ratio

I tried Nap Nitrons with the short ferruleslast year on a doe.The hole coming out looked like I used a shotgun.I normally use muzzys and I have never seen them make a hole like that.
