I don't think the thread is idiotic. I just thought of this last night when someone said they were not having good blood trails with Muzzy's because they were not "razor" sharp. I countered and said I have had complete pass throughs and excellent blood trails with Muzzy's even though they are not "razor" sharp. That is why I made this thread. It was not advocating using "dull blades" at all....those that know me know I have never thought like that and never will. In fact, the first two deer I shot were with mechanical heads that probably not worth a dang...cost me alot of time and energy trailing and finding those deer. I moved to COC contact heads and have been a BIG believer in them and their abilities. I kind of feel bad now even bringing this up...it was just something that popped into my head so please don't judge me on this thread...it was just a thought about a pass through, it really was that simple. After the mechanicals failing on me I have always used the sharpest heads I can find and will not shoot anything that does not feel sharp to me...never will. Not advocating any does....
