RE: Pass through with sharp blades verse "dull" blades
ORIGINAL: virginiashadow 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. |
RE: Pass through with sharp blades verse "dull" blades
Your really out of touch. Ive been shooting bow for years. I USE NEW BLADES EVERY TIME. But for the sake of arguement you can really use a duller blade with not razor sharp qualities but you think should really read the post its about pass through not about recovery.

RE: Pass through with sharp blades verse "dull" blades
ORIGINAL: nissan300ztt How dull are we talking? If dull enough, you could very well get a pass through but not of the diameter your bh is, because of such a blunt force your making the initial hole, and then stretching the rest of the blade through, thus leaving a smaller hole, Plus all of the internal matter your "pushing" through rather than cutting |

Before this one gets the chains and shackles.... nissan- he mentioned from the beginning... "Blood Trail" if thats not recovery I dont know what is....

RE: Pass through with sharp blades verse "dull" blades
So what kind of blood trails would these heads leave if they made a pass through?

If you were to accidently cut a finger with one which will do more damage? A sharp blade or a dull blade. I have a feeling I'd fair better with the dull blade than the sharp.

Virginiashadow... in all the discussion here I forgot to ask did you get out in the woods today and if so any luck?

And for the sake of argument, BS! That may be the very reason why a study on a NY island showed does with broadhead scars on their LUNGS. There is absolutely zero reasons to reuse a broadhead that is not resharpened or the blades replaced. |
