Default RE: thinking about switing to fixed broadheads.

ORIGINAL: Double Creek

cut-on-contact style head, which is why I shoot Magnus Stingers. They fly great and penetrate equally as good
But they don't leave a good enough blood trail IMO. I shot 4 deer with them during the 2003 season and while I LOVED the head and penetration was awesome, the blood trails sucked, all of them. I had to really work the trail to find the deer, all 4 double lung pass throughs.
I shot a doe this fall with them, quartering away, double lung pass through, and she bled more than any deer I've ever shot in my life. Went 30 yards and dropped. When I rolled her over there was literally a stream of blood pouring out of the exit wound. I was very impressed with the blood trail.

I guess it just goes to show that in the world of hunting there is a never a "right" answer. What works for some people might not work for everyone.
