I guess I'm old in my line of thinking. I was always told if you want more blood you have to have more blades... I shoot the 4 blade muzzy fixed blades and even though it takes a little longer to tune them I get great results.

For one season I was trying the "vortex" mechanical broadheads but I never shot anything with them. Do they even still make those? I remember they were expensive as all get out back then.

I remember back (in the 80's) when there was a 5 blade broadhead, and the blades were seperate from the body of the broadhead and in theory the blades were supposed to stay stationary in flight while the arrow and main body of the head spun. This way it was supposed to be uneffected by plaining and such. I still have one laying around somewhere... Never got a deer with it but my friends said it put a mighty hole through a deer.
