I shoot both muzzy 4 blade and slick tricks, cant tell any difference other than the slick tricks blades being a little more durable.
With these blades i dont care which way the deers facing, ive smashed through quartering too shots with muzzy's exiting the hind leg. Talk about a deer not going far.
With the energy and momentum that my arrows are carrying I too will take quartering too shots and put the arrow right through the shoulder with out hesitation.

To qualify why I would do this... I am shooting a Bowtech destroyer 340 and using Easton axis arrows with brass inserts tipped with 100 grain Slick Tricks mags for a total arrow weight of 515 grains and shooting them at 275 fps. for 87 foot pounds of KE. I don't worry about bones on deer sized animals.

Obviously i do not reccomend this to those shooting low poundage bows, ultra light arrows, big mechanicals, etc... but if you are lucky enough to have a longer draw length (mines 30"), shoot a bow that generates good speeds (310+ IBO) use a mid to heavy weight arrow (450+ grains) and use a top notch fixed blade broadhead that breaks bones it's not a problem.
