1" 3 blade woodsmens...blood trails?

[Cory Mattson]

Now your talking - Sharks are our favorite - but we have many friends who shoot WW & Razorcaps with fantastic results - some guys are better suited to the head weights WW offers - Sharpness is critical - some guys have that knack - and if they keep em sharp WW will perform well.

Terry, Thanks for posting the picture. I was just wondering if I had done mine correct. It looks like I did.  John

Charlie- I thought your were a four-blade guy. Man! I can't count on anything I think I know, lol.                                  Grant

BOFF's post (2nd one) is pretty much on the mark.  I think TOO many folks make too much out of one single bloodtrail.  Good hits can sometimes leave terrible blood trails regardless of the broadhead, for any number of weird reasons.  And sometimes you can have a poor hit with any broadhead and still get a great blood trail for 200 yards or more.

(In other words, if I went negative on a broadhead because of ONE poor blood trail, I'd be switching broadheads every several seasons.  It'd be like changing your entire place-kicking routine if you missed one field goal).

Bottom line, at least for me, is that the Woodsman performs very well.  I've killed a couple dozen animals with it and have no complaints.  It's strong, I don't have a problem sharpening it, it shoots well for my set-up, and it makes a nice hole.  Whether that hole bleeds a lot depends on where I put it, and even then other factors (fat, hole in hide matching hole in carcass, arrow staying in animal, how wired the deer is, etc.) determine how much blood is on the ground.

Grant... You know I love my Magnus I's w/bleeder. Like most of us, though, I like to play around with different stuff. (keep an open mind)

I had to shoot a few deer with the Woodsman just to see for myself how they performed. Pretty impressive.

They went through the deer I shot like they weren't  even there and blood trails were fine.
Never had an issue with strength either.

That was 7 or 8 years ago and I went right back to my Magnus I's after I satisfied my curiosity.

What you may not know (another surprise) is that my bowquiver usually has one or two Magnus I's w/bleeders and the rest without for follow up work and max penetration.

It's all good!

I shot a buck last weekend with a Woodsman.  Blood trail was good enough that I could follow it easily from my stand using binoculars for as far as I could see through the woods. (30 yards?)  He made it 60 yards and dropped just out of my sight.
Great head!

They left several decent bloodtrails and one poor one for me last year, I have 6 new screw-in WW that I would trade for any 4bld. if anyone is interested. The best thing about them is penetration- excellent.
