IMO 2'' of total cut does a lot of damage no matter how you get there.
This is kind of my point.... Tissue damage is tissue damage no matter how you get it..
I thinksome guys look at a broadheadscutting diameter rather than the tissue damage. If the largest wound channel possible for marginal shots is whatone is after, the 2 blade Rage isn't the best candidate. Solid candidate, yes.... But largest wound channel.... No.

RE: Broadhead cutting diameter vs. tissue damage...
I have attempted to explain this a lot to different people.Few peopleseem to understandhow a 1.125" 4 blade could do more damage than a 2" two blade. Or how a 1"four blade equals the tissue damage of a 2" two blade mechanical.All they see is that big number and the manufacturers know this.
I do this... ...a lot trying to explain simple things like this to people.

LMAO!I hear ya! SometimesI wonder why people even bother asking questions when all they want you to do is agree with them and not actually offer any real advice.
BTW, I am refering to"hunters", both bow and gun, and peoplein general and much much less to members here.

RE: Broadhead cutting diameter vs. tissue damage...
I look at it 2 ways. Visually through experience. I shot fixed blades for 20 years and Snyper expandables for 5 and Rage 2 blade the last 2 years and the largest holes and the most damageby farhave been from the Rage and then the Snyper and then fixed.
The other way I look at it is by the numbers.
Cutting diameter and cutting surfaceare 2 different things.
Cutting diameter is the size of the wound created by the BH.
Cutting surface is the amount of damage within the cutting diameter.
Rage 2-blade:
Cutting diameter = 2"
Cutting surface= 2 5/16" including tip blade
This means you are causing 2 5/16" cutting damage within a 2" area. This means a very large hole and massive damage.
Any 4-blade 1" fixed
Cutting diameter = 1"
Cutting surface = 2"
This means you are causing 2" of cutting damage within a 1" area. As you can see all the damage is being done in a fairly small area with a fairly small hole.
Obviously if the arrow hits its mark it doesn't matter which heads you are using but it does matter if you are slightly off the mark.
