RE: What makes a good blood trail
I have also looked at the snuffers real hard. The tests I have read on them, well, they look pretty good. They make a 150 grain 1 5/16 cut that looks real nice, would help punch up that FOC also... How do you like the holes from those snuffers?

The only bad thing I've heard with the Snuffers is that they can whistle in the air when shot. I've never heard it from my arrows but I've heard it from one other guys arrows and Matt/PA on here also said he's heard it on his as well. So it can happen I guess. Only way to know is to shoot one I guess. I wouldn't shoot them if mine whistled.

would you rather be cut with a 2" knife blade that stuck you all the way through from your chest to your backbone (no exit hole)......or be stuck with a 1" knife blade all the way through?

I think some of you guys are thinking about a whitetail's body being a large container of pooled blood. If that were the case.......sure....that second hole is "more" important.

We all (God I'm hoping)know that just isn't the case. The circulatory system is madeup of arteries, veins and capillaries that WILL bleed, if cut. So I go back to the question.....would you rather be cut with a 2" knife blade that stuck you all the way through from your chest to your backbone (no exit hole)......or be stuck with a 1" knife blade all the way through?
2X the cutting.....andyou're bleeding, either way. The trail "might" (might not) be easier to follow on the 1' pass thru......but science tells me it'll probably be a shorter track.....when 2X the trauma is inflicted.
The internet's cool this way, though. Nobody has ever lost a deer.....and we all bought magnums as teens.

How many Deer have you opened up that only had a high entrance hole? You might be surprised what you find
