This whole thread is idiotic. I can't believe that this was even brought up.

Todays bows have enough stored energy toforce even broadheads with practice blades through a deer and into the ground on the other side so the question is pretty much pointless with full power adult bows of today.Yes it will kill the animal and yes there will be blood there for you to follow.

However, a razor sharp broadhead WILL, 100% of the time, given the exactly the same shot, cause more blood loss and produce a better blood tail for you to follow.

A cut that was made with a razor sharp blade will flow blood and not clott for hours and will produce blood on the ground for far greater distances than a dull head would. It will cut tissue that a dull blade will simply push out of the way, remember that arteries and other tissues in the body are elastic and strech a great deal before tearing just like a rubber band... not so with a sharp balde,these elastictissuesand arteries will be cleanly cutopen and blood will flow and not clott.

Serrated blades aredesigned to saw through bone. They are not designed to slice easier through elastic animal tissue.
