"A cut on contact head will penetrate better than a trocar tip, unless it curls."

"A steep angle (short) head has a harder time penetrating than a longer gradual angle blade."

Thats a fine theory, but what about testing in consistent, controlled, repeatable tests to prove that? If its true you will see it happen.

As 5 shot has stated, "Heads with shorter ferrules and smaller profiles consistently outpenetrate more traditional styles in my broadhead tests."

Simply put, the 3:1 "cut on contact" penetrates better theory has not proven to be true.

And trocar style tips do penetrate better than "cut on contact" on bone. The trocar tip blows a hole for the rest of the head to follow. A "cut on contact" tip tries to slice its way through, and friction with the ferrule trying to squeeze through the hole kills penetration.
