That is a good explanation. Thats why I like this site. not only do you get called an idiot but at least you get a reach around with an explantion of why your an idiot.

No, Your exactly right, think about all of the veins and arterys running through a deers vital, a sharp blade will severe(sp) the aterys/veins where as a dull one would push, stretch, bruise them. Like a rubber band, push a sharp one accross them, then push a dull one.
That's funny! True, true indeed!

Actually the more jagged the cut the more bleeding. Thats why the magnus serrated blades are so awesome. Just like cutting your hand with a dull blade it tears skin and not slices.

Actually I have always heard and believe different! The more of a serrated edge will allow the veins, arteries to clot up quicker. A sharp razor will make a smooth cut that will not clot up as fast!
I understand the concept and the way I think of it is, have you ever cut yourself with a sharp razor while shaving? The damn thing dont wanna stop bleeding!!!

So dull blades, if shot with enough force for a pass through create more blood because they not only cut through the object but also tore the object?

Again, I am not advocating dull blades, because I like to shoot "sharp" broadheads. I am just not getting some of the logic behind the razor sharp broadhead and improved blood trails as compared to "dull" broadheads.

Yes thats true. But theres a reason why the sharper then knife its easier for the blood to clot. Becuase the skin isnt jagged. And a slice is just a slice the skin is still in close proximity with the other skin easier for the platelettes to group up.

And jjlem, I hope you are not directing this to me:

"That is a good explanation. Thats why I like this site. not only do you get called an idiot but at least you get a reach around with an explantion of why your an idiot."

I AM exploring a concept so that I can benefit from others knowledge.

I call BS.

I hope like hell people are not reusing blades without sharpening or replacing. I truly do.

vs, your way off and this thread is really teaching misinformation if anyone thinks dull blades are fine. [:-] [&:]

Thinking back to ag-science when we cut the nuts off piggletts we did cut them jagged and the teacher's dad who was a vet said we did it that way for it clotted faster for the blood had flesh to basically hold it up and block the flow of more blood. So here is the 1 billionth time I call my self an idiot and it isn't even a reach around its a reach down......LOL

Rob--I am not way off. I have NEVER re-used a head I have shot at an animal. I have NEVER used a dull blade. I am exploring a concept because I keep hearing people say sharp blades leave larger blood trails, and I for one don't believe it. I DO BELIEVE that sharper blades are better because they penetrate better. And Rob, give me a break, everyone knows what I am talking about. I only said I don't advocate dull blades 77 times in the post.
