RE: Broadhead Designs and Penetration
I have personaly found that smaller heads penetrate better. I personaly feel it' s not so much how many blades, but the total cutting surface that dictates penetration. Cut on contact heads do seem to penetrate soft material better, while chisel tips do better in hard materials. The very best penetrating head has been the the Rocky tradition, while some of the " worst" have been large 4 blade designs. It a game of balance, choice a head that gives you enough penetration for a pass through on resonable shots, but does the Max amount of tissue damage on the way through.
