Comments like that from an archery shop tech would make me cautious. Broadheads kill by hemorrhage, the more hemorrhage the faster humane kill, the bigger the cut thegreater the potential for hemorrhage. No way to argue against it. On perfect shot placement no issues with the smaller cut broadheads, but when the not so perfect hit happens you may need that extra 1/4"-1/2" cut. What if you would make abad hit out of the vitals and your 1" cut broadhead just missed the femoral artery by 1/4" the 1 1/4"-1 1/2" cut broadhead most likelywouldhave delivered a lethal cut to that artery which would have meant a quick recovery of a deer that would have only been wounded and lost with the 1" cut broadhead.
