Pass through with sharp blades verse "dull" blades

Your not seeing the point. See how they are jagged points on there. The serrated parts. It just goes to show you its all perspective. And I guess when i hear dull im thinking of jagged. Hmmm guess it depends on the person.

No it's not, it's a hobby. And some of you guys have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much free time on your hands toover-analyze stuff like this and debate it and actually try and outdo each other with clever commets. If a dull broadhead performed so friggin well, we would of never engineered a head that could hold razor sharp blades. We'd still be using those rocks some other dude posted.
And I'l bet a hefty bag of cash, a surgeon don't use a dull scalpel dude. No reason to bring doctors in this, there aren't any in the woods. And if there were, they'd probably use extremely sharp instruments.
Now it's a saturday nite, and I have a date, so I'm out. Some of you others should probably go find one too from the sounds of it...........and pick up some new blades while you're at it ....[8D] and just go hunting for god's sake.

This thread is going to lend credibility to shooting a new broadhead into a block type target just to make sure it flys right.
I'm always amazed at the guys who shoot hunting broadheads into targets even once before hunting with it. Poofit's no longer razor sharp.
Good thread!! Nothing like a little piss and vineger..

I shoot every broadhead I plan to hunt with several times to ensure perfect flight - coc only.
But then I resharpen each to sharper then new.
Sharpening used to be part of the process - like any prep to hunt.
Anyone believing a dull broadhead is good enough or better, or who goes hunting with anything less then a sharp broadhead is an idiot - period.

I am not even going to attempt to read 8 pages of this one.......I have a pretty good feel reading just page 8.
Listen everything in an animal aside from the bodily fluids is basically elastic. Blood vessels, hide, organs tendons you name it.......if things didn't have elasticity animals in general would snap organs and vessels and everything else inside the first time they jump up and down.
Dull allows blades to push aside elastic materials.........slide one through a rubber band once and tell me how great it works. Arteries and veins are very much like a rubber band in toughness. They have to be orall mammals woulddie during everyday activities.
Dull equals less trauma, lessened bleeding and potentially uncut vessels and slower death.
Sharp blades cut elastic materials.........equals much more bleeding and trauma not to mention consistently bigger and cleaner entry and exit wounds that do not clot or clog easily. More bleeding, more trauma, quicker death means easier to recover game animals.
This isn't rocket science people, it's simple common sense.
Dull is bad.............and so are drugs, so if anyone out there thinks dull broadhead blades ARE good or on par with razor sharp ones?........stay off those too.[:-]

Try it then. I guarantee youll get less clotting with a jagged blade. A razor sharp blade just has less resistance. Thats why it has more penetration. Its simple. But the jagged blade will tear up more tissue.
That is EXACTLY OPPOSITE of the truth. It's basic first aid for cryin out loud.
Why do you think when you cut your finger on a piece of barbed wire it stops bleeding quickly without much effort........but cut that same finger with a straight razor and so how badly and how long you bleed.
I've been here a LONG time and that statement is one of thesilliest I have ever read.
Look it up, basic first aidand the body's response to lacerations.
Jagged cuts allow things to clot MORE QUICKLY.
Holy cripes.

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.
