Best Blood Trail
 

What broadhead leaves a really good blood trail from your experiences? Or what brodhead would you prefer?

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

The NAP spitfire leaves a large bloodtrail from my experieces tracking other peoples deer. Myself, I am partial to the thunderheads, don' t ask me why. Every deer I have ever killed has not had to be tracked because I have watched them go down. They have done good for me so far.

Broadheads that hit both lungs or the heart leave excellent blood trails;):D

Best blood trial: The two deer I shot this year with the Wasp Jackhammer 100. ( 1 3/4" 3 blade mechanical) They had almost unbeleivable blood trials. The entry and exit holes from a 1 3/4" cutting diameter broadhead is devistating. The holes are huge! I seriously think you could gut shoot a deer and get 100% recovery. (not reccomended) I' ve slug hunted for over 15 years and never had a blood trial that could compare to the Jack Hammer!

My buddy told me about them. He has shot about 15 deer with this head and the average travel distance is 35 yards! The blood trial is devistating!

This broadhead is not for all bow set-ups. You need high KE set-up. If I was to guess......maybe 60 and over. My KE is 64. The more the better.

Good Luck!!!

I have taken 6 deer with a satellitle titan. None of them went further than 45 yards, they make big holes and the deer go down quick. :)

I got good blood trails with the Nap shockwaves and Spitefires. tThe main reason I use mechnicals is because I have a tendency to cut my self with sharp exposed objects. :)

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

I use the spitdire 3 blade and they work great foe me,those that I didn' t see go down had a reeeal gooood blood trail.:D

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

Sharp ones!

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

I' m a big fan of Thunderheads but like already mentioned it doesn' t matter what broadhead you shoot em with if it goes through the vitals there will be a good blood trail and they won' t go very far.

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

I' ve used Spitfires,Hammerheads,muzzys,first cuts,gators,steelheads ,and snypers. And the thickest ,heaviest,best blood trails have easily been with the Spitfire 3 blades. No Question !! Some of the others were very good but nothing to compare to the Spitfires.

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

A well placed sharp broadhead that creates an entrance and exit hole in the largest size legal.
I use Thunderheads 3 blades for Deer and Bear 2 bladed with razor inserts for Elk.

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

Cyclone hit the nail on the head...... SHARP ONES. A 1 1/8 3 blade leaves the same blood trail as a 1 1/8 3 blade.:D(If they' re sharp) Different animals... different hits.... it all factors in. SHARP and placement are the key to any blood trail. Don' t worry so much about, is there a particular one that makes them bleed better. Worry about is it sharp and does it shoot well from my bow with me doing the shooting.

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

I use thunderheads but I won' t knock anyones choice of broadheads as others have said as long as they are sharp. I have heard a lot of good things about mechanicals but I have not brought myself to try them. As an ' aside' I carry a squirt bottle of hydrogen peroxide that helps separate a blood trail from the maple leaves here in pa. during archery season. It works like carrying an umbrella to prevent rain; I have never had a deer go more than 30 yards but I carry it anyway.

Hey hafa8pt: I don' t drink anymore either, does that mean I should carry a 6 pak just in case I decide to.;)

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

david, what a good idea!

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

Naw, you carry that 6 pack in case you run into me....:DMake sure it' s cold though, I ain' t no brit....

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

I would have to put my money on Rocket Hammerheads at a 2inch cutting diameter. Leaves a nice big hole. But The most important factor is sharpness have to be razor sharp.

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

i shoot muzzy and have had a good blood trail with them, it put the deer down in about 40 yards leavin a good blood trail right up to him.

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

Hi,

That' s funny some people picked the Spitfire' s!

From what I' ve heard from other people is that they were one of the WORST!

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

As long as the blade is sharp and put in the right place it doesn' t matter. Find a broadhead that flies good and go with it. Make sure the blade are razor sharp. I use muzzy but have also used many others I just find that they fly good for me.

I first used bear razor heads. They worked fine if you hit them right. But the blood trails were " a spot here, a spot there" and every now and then a puddle. Then I started using 100 grain thunderheads. They did better. The blood spots seemed to make more of a " line" than a spot here or there. Then I went to the thunderhead 125. They were kind of a mystery. One deer there would be blood everywhere, the next, they were like the razor heads. All were good hits but I didn' t like what I was getting. So then I swiched to the 90 grain 4bladed muzzys. WOW!!! I' ve never seen trails this thick in my life! My step dad made a few bad hits on deer and we still found all of them. They make a very large hole through the deer. I got two in the heart and I had a three foot wide bloodtrails.

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

I' m kinda partial to the Wasp SST 100 gr. I can' t believe the condition my broadhead has been in after numerous kills. The blades and tip are very durable!

Tree Hugger , Some people blame a broadhead, when the real problem is poor shot placement .

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

Fixed blades, I' d have to say Magnus Snuffers, the Muzzy' s are very close though. Also, for a 2 blade head, the Magnus 2 blades do very well.

As for mechanicals, the only ones I have used are the Spitfires which leave an unbelievable blood trail and the 2 blade Vortex, which quite honestly I was dissapointed in based on all the hype I had heard.

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

rocket sidewinders. they shoot the straightest and leave awesome blood trails even with a single lung hit

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

Anybody tried those bonebuster heads? I saw a guy on tv using them and he shot a deer in the shoulder with it. It wasn' t a passthrough, in fact he only got about 6-1/2" penetration. But he found the deer.

RE: Best Blood Trail
 

A sharp one that passes through the deer where it' s supposed to go. The rest is hair-splitting.

I shoot WASP High Tech Hammers in 75grn. They' ll break bone if need be and the majority of deer I' ve shot with them have gone less than 80 yds. A few like this years buck got a little farther but no more than 100yds. Have even had a few take a jump or two and come back to see what scared em and drop at almost the identical spot where they were hit!!!!
