Having shot deer with wide mechanical heads, skinny one-piece two blade heads, and everything in between, my preference is for solid one-piece broadheads of 2 or 3 blades. No " bone crushing" tips, no replacement blades, and no aluminum, plastic, wristwatch screws, or rubber bands.

Number of blades alone is only one indicator of how much blood is laid down. My experience is that the more pieces a broadhead has, the greater the likelihood that it will fall apart on a hit...ie; bent or missing blades don' t cut or contribute to blood trails.
