Default RE: Pass through with sharp blades verse "dull" blades

First off, I only got to page five before I get fed up with the BS I was reading and decided to post, so if I happen to mention something that was posted in the remaining several pages, I appologize.

Nissan - Apparently you need someone to explain to you that there is a difference between a dull blade and a serrated blade. A serrated blade is still sharp. A dull blade is, well, dull. I honestly can't understand the logic behind your thinking, if you've even got any. Are you posting simply to post and stir the pot or do you really buy into the crap thats coming out of your mouth?

I've really got to agree with Rob here, this thread is advocating the use of dull blades. Anyone who says that a dull blade is just as effective as a razor sharp blade is completely off base.

Ever get a paper cut? How bad did it bleed? Pretty bad, I bet. How long did it take to stop? Quite awhile, would be my guess. Wonder why? Less tissue was actually damaged, sending less responses to your body to tell it to begin the process of repairing the damaged tissue. When you cut yourself with a dull blade, the tissue is torn, sending more signals telling your body to start clotting and repaiging itself.

On top of that, if the dull blades don't manage to snag the tissue and tear it, its simply pushing the veins, arterys, and organs out of the way without damaging them at all. Yeah, you'll get a passthrough, no problem. Yeah, you might kill your deer, but I garauntee you your blood trail will be less than optimal.

Always replace or resharpen your broadheads before using them. We owe it to the game we pursue to put them down as quickly and humanely as we possibly can. Why take the chance of getting anything less than an optimal blood trail to follow?
