Default how many blades

I currently shoot 3 blades..and thought about switching to four...would this change anything in the arrow flight, or sighting? Does it add stability to have four blades, or is it just for cutting purposes? Thanks everyone
Its only my second year bowhunting, and all of you on this board have been a great help

A lot of it depends on the head, how large it is, the style and weight, and the specific brand. I can go from Muzzy 3 blade 100 grn to the 4 blade 100 grn with no noticeable change in accuracy for flight. As for preformance on game, I doubt their is going to be much differnce thier as well, provided you put the arrow in the proper place.

I agree with 5-shot. Size makes a difference. I went from the Muzzy 3-blade to the Muzzy 4-blade, both 100gr. and found the 4-blade was a more accurate head for me. The 4-blade 100gr. has a smaller cutting diameter in 1in. I think that is why it shoots so well. I gave up a little size and got better accuracy and another cutting surface.
