I always go with 4 blades, and this is why. Inches of "slice". Ok, let's say a deer is 10 inches wide, and you shoot a 2 blade broadhead. That equates to 20 inches of slice, not including the cutting diameter of the head. Now, let's say you are using a 4 blade head on the same deer. Now you have 40 inches of slice. More cut = more blood = dead deer faster and easier to find. Go with 4.

No reason not to go with the 4 blade, they *should* shoot the same as the 2 blade. I have the 100 grain 4 blade and they shoot AWESOME.

4 blade if your shooting 50 ft/lbs of Ke or better and going after deer size game. If you are under 50 ft/lbs of Ke or going after really larger game such as moose/elk, you may want to consider going with the two blade versions.

Thanks for the advice 4 blade is what I'll shoot!! The main reason I was wondering is because I had shot the 2 blade and loved how it flew. And I did not know if the 4 Blade would fly the same.

Yep. I'm a firm believer in the four blade. And they do fly right with my fieldtips.

Since I'm a two blade Stinger guy, I'll give you my reasons why. If you hit them in the lungs, it won't matter much if it's one blade or 10, the animal will usually be dead within 10-15 seconds. The four blade causes more damage and the two blade has a greater chance of being a pass through. Since they both end up being dead, I'll take the greater chance of an exit hole.

If you don't hit them in the lungs, then you have to deal with a problem, no matter what head you use. An off-hit is most often a gut shot, a shoulder hit or a spine shot. In the guts, the deer is dead with either, and both will require a long wait. With a shoulder or spine shot, your chances of adequate penetration are much greater with the two blade.

There are other little things to consider. Four blades equal more area to push the arrow off track in high wind situations. Four blades also equal greater odds of hitting a twig or deflecting off another inconspicuous object. It is also much easier to sharpen a two blade broadhead without having to purchase replacement blades.

Many consider the four blade to be a slam dunk no decision option, but they haven't convinced me.
