as mentioned b4, i have no issues with getting woodsman broadheads razor sharp.  

now, not at all to debate the attributes of twin blades versus multi blades, but since i can get a tri blade 'scary sharp', here's why i prefer 'em ....

of the last 2 hogs i killed, the little one was done in with a tusker concorde twin blade and the much larger hog met its fate with a woodsman.  

the concorde put a slit through both sides of the pig, through the both lungs, would have been a pass through if the ground wasn't in the way, and killed it stone dead within 2 minutes.  however, the woodsman was a complete pass through, blew a hole through both sides of the hog the size of a quarter, and not in the best of spots - angled gut shot, and maybe got a piece of one lung - but the blood trail was significant and relatively easy to follow.  

this is why i prefer multi blade heads - devastating cutting power and big blood tracking drip holes.

To answer your question, I'll take the scary sharp two-blade. Heck, I'll take the sharp two-blade over a sharp three-blade even. But, that's just me.

Shoot what works, just as long as it's sharp.

I'd go with scary sharp. I shot a nice buck two years ago, but hit him a little far back. The arrow zipped through fast and clean, he didn't know he was hit. He ran maybe 15 yards and stopped to look around, giving me a second shot. I think if the broadhead was so-so sharp, it may not have passed through, resulting in him running off, and perhaps not found.
