RE: Rocket Ultimate Steel?
I picked up a pack of them yesterday. They are bad to the bone, and super accurate (pro-shop guy was grouping tighter at 40 yards with the Rockets, than he was with his field points), But I too am perplexed by their cutting diameter.
My understanding of this, is that the larger the cutting diameter, the better the bleeding, thus quicker the kill, and easier the tracking.
The flip side of that is the bigger the blades, the more wind they can catch, and thus the more vulnerable they are to accuracy issues.
I under stand Rockets idea of presenting the smallest amount of surface area possible, but is it enough?
Their magazine adds state that they also offer the Ultimate Steel in a 125 grain, 1 1/4" version. Will this extra exposed surface area reduce the accuracy of the broad head?
Seems like a catch 22 to me. Hope you guys can come up with some info.
