3 blade or 4 blade
I shot Muzzy 3 blades this year but i was wondering if i should try the 4 blades or stick with the three's. I heard that with the 4's you could get better penetration but i don't know if i want to get rid of the cutting diameter. Please tell me what you use or suggest.
Thanks much.

RE: 3 blade or 4 blade
I see no need in changing to the 4 blade. The small amount of difference you get in cutting surface area isn't worth fooling with in my opinion.The 3 blade is just fine. As far as penetration, you will never notice any difference between the 2, so don't worry about it.
Good luck.

RE: 3 blade or 4 blade
I would stay with the 3 bladed head. Four will give you a little more cutting surface, but can create problems of their own in arrow flight AND four blades do not penetrate better than three. Think about it--more cutting surface mean more friction to cut through the hide and all the other muscles. And three blades kills just a deadly when put through the lungs. You'll never see a difference.

bdu33, you may already know this, but Wasp makes the Hammer SST in a 3 blade 90 grainer, if that is of any help.
