Default RE: broadheads

I would argue that there gets to be a point of diminishing return as the number of blades goes up. Why not a 6 blade head with a 3/4" cut - total of 2 1/4"of cutting surface? In fact, I would argue that a four blade head with a 1 1/8" cut is only marginally better than a three blade head with a 1 1/8" cut. The issue is the severity of the bleeding the broadhead causes. Those great big holes that you can stick four fingers into are going to drain a lot of blood in a hurry. We can argue theoretical broadhead performance until the cows come home, but I'm seeing these Rage two blade heads putting animals on the ground consistently quicker than anything else out there. My only concern is the possibility of something going amiss due to the mechanical nature of the head. When it opens like it should, which appears to be a very high percentage of the time, they seem to be working like gangbusters.
