Default Broadheads

What is the difference between three and four blade broadheads?? Is it balance? Is one better to use for hunting and the other better for 3-D??

One broadhead has 3 blades,the other has 4

Is it balance
They would both balance the same,if they both weighed the same.

Is one better to use for hunting and the other better for 3-D??
They would both be good for hunting.The 4 blade some say opens up a bigger hole as its cutting 4 times,meaning a better blood trail.Personally I like the 3 blade.I like to alighn the blades with the fletching.

After looking at all of the heads in the catalogs for sale. I noticed that most are 3 blades. There must be something to that.

In general a 4 blade will not penitrate as far as a 3 blade . Some 4 blade heads may not fly as well as 3 blades allso , because of increased drag
