What I dont get is, and guys Im not against either, but I have yet to see a hole from a fixed blade even somewhat compare to that of the rage/snyper design.
This is howI explained it in another thread about 6 months ago.
A 4 blade like a slick trick mag or Muzzy MX4with a 1.125" diameterwill cutexactly the sameas a 3 blade 1.5" diameterbroadhead as it would a 2 blade 2.25" broadhead.
Given the same shot on the same animal the results would be virtually the same the only real differance would be the shape of the hole.
Another way to look at is a square (4 blade)thatcovers 2 square inches in area is exactly the same size as a triangle (3 blade)thatcovers 2 square inches in area is exactly the same size as a long rectangle (2 blade)thatcovers 2 square inches in area.
Now assumeall threepenetrate 12 inches of deer they will cut exactly the same amount of tissue on their way through.
I beg to differ a little bit.
Cutting diameter =
size of the damage
Cutting surface = the
amount of damage being done within the cutting diameter.
Where I agree the amount of cutting surface (damage)is roughly the same the difference iswhere that damage is occuring.
On a 2" cutting diameter head the damage (cutting surface)is occuring in a large 2" cuttingarea (cutting diameter)which will leave a large hole. On a 1" to 1 1/4" cutting diameter head all the damage (cutting surface)is being done in the smaller area (cutting diameter)which will leave a smaller hole.
