Default broadhead scoring system changes

Well, I finally got around to updating the broadhead scoring system. I only made two changes. I will now use the total cutting surface of a broadhead instead of a cutting diameter score. I have also eliminated a score for the number of blades and replaced it with a point total for blade sharpness. Below is a link to the new scoring system. After you read that check out the new heads, mechanical and fixed blade head pages. You can see all heads have a lower number score, but it is eaiser to see the minor differences in each head. I think this new system gives more credit to the overall size of the head as well as rewarding penetration. You will notice that the blade sharpness scores are small, the reason for this is that blade sharpness is something we can change with some work, but heads that come ready to shoot should get more credit than those that do not. Let me know what you think, I know it will make some unhappy and others will like it. Overall though I am pleased with the results.
