2 blade or 3?

txjourneyman · 05-30-2008, 10:52 AM

Since I started shooting trad 2 years ago I have been shooting 2 blade heads. I have since found a really good deal on some NAP Hellrazors. 125 gr COC 3 blade. My recurve is 49#s. Will I get sufficient penetration with a 3 blade? My only trad kill was a feral hog. The Magnus 2 blade went deep. I don't want to give up any of that penetration. The NAPs are scary sharp. Do you think I'll be OK with them?

What arrow will you use??I would think you'd have plenty of H.P to drive a 3 blade head.IMO

49lbs will be close. I shoot the 125 grain snuffers and I've gotten allot of other Trad shooters around me shooting them also. My brother pulls about 52lbs or so and he gets 60% to 70% pass throughs with his longbow. One thing about a 3 blade COC broad head is that there point is sharper then any 2 blade out there. Spinning my snuffers on my finger with just the weight of the arrow will bury a hole. All in all I think you will be alright using them Naps. How heavy are your arrows? That could be a deciding factor as well.

I believe You'll be fine shooting a 3 blade.

Thanks guys. I got the NAP hellrazors for 14.99. I bought the last 2 packs they had on the shelf. I then saw the same heads at Bass Pro for $34.99. I couldn't pass up a deal like that. I'll put them to good use
