RE: Addressing the "small" broadhead comments
One last post, each day I get further behind, and I will leave you guys alone. Accuracy is important. A good hole is important. Penetration is important. Strength is important. Reliability is important. Tricks are devised to best incorporate each of these in a broadhead. A verylarge broadhead through the lungs will kill the same as a reasonable sized broadhead. But avery large broadhead may not penetrate bone and get to the vitals on a less than great shot, and may stop before exiting. You want a head that has a very good chance of making a good entry and exit wound to leave a blood trail if tracking is necessary. It does no good to kill an animal with a very large broadhead if you can't find it. Finally, I will share one other thought that may catch you off guard. Tricks are designed to have an optimum blade angle to cut a bigger hole. Believe it or not, the angle of Tricks blades will make a bigger hole than the same diameter blades of a long head. The reason is that as any broadhead penetrates, contact with the tip of the head creates a "cone" with the hide or tissue. If the blades have a certain angle, they will take advantage of this and cut a longer hole than the diameter of the blades. A very long head will cut closer to the diameter of the blades. There is a reason guys comment on the size of Tricks holes and say they look like a 10 guage. The kicker is the shorter blades also penetrate better. Ok, thats it, its been fun, carry on without me.
