Default RE: New Broadhead?

rages are all the rage.....just a punn I thought I'd make. haha.

The chisel point is designed/suppose to go through bone, vs. cut on contact which would Kinda dig into bone and stop, my father shoots the razorbacks, always killed great, I love the idea of cut on contact, i see them passing through more easily, though I worry if they hit bone and stop. I'm also not worried about sharpening a G5, saw the video as well.

I once spoke to an old bowhunter, kinda an old wisemen type, that as I had suspected, didn't like ultra sharp broadheads, he equated this to a surgeon's scapel, that a sharp cut is more apt to heal/stop bleeding since the 2 edges of the cut line up perfectly once they meet again, where as a less sharp would create more of a jagged cut, I had though of this myself prior to speaking to him and it only kinda reinformed there might be somethign to this idea. I still don't have a conclusion either way. Though I've never heard experts talk about this, only to say that you need ultrasharp broadheads! but why? dull or sharp, they're going through skin.
