Better blood trail, 2 or 4 blade Stingers?
 

I shot a small hog with the t blade Magnus Stinger and didn't get a very good blood trail despite a solid broadside double lung hit with complete passthrough. I love these heads, and was wondering if the 4 blade version would help cretae better blood trails?

RE: Better blood trail, 2 or 4 blade Stingers?
 

Absolutely. 4 blades cut more flesh than 2 blades and will also leave a larger entrance and exit wound resulting in better blood trails.

RE: Better blood trail, 2 or 4 blade Stingers?
 

Yes, the more blades the more cutting of tissue and less penetration.
But generally with todays bows penetration isn't an issue.

I used to shoot two blade heads for a long while years ago. I switched because of the lack of good blood trails. One thing about two blade heads is quite often the animal doesn't have much of a reaction to the hit, especially if the arrow doesn't hit bone.

But I like multiple blades especially whenI mess up and theshot isn't placed exactly right and I hit to far back.

Happy Hunting

another thing to keep in mind is that hogs have very thick hide and a lot of fat to their bodies which result in lesser blood, but 4 blades cut more flesh than 2 so 4 should have the better trail but not guaranteed

I've shot all mine w/ 4 blade Stingers this year, and the blood trails weren't difficult to follow.
