Penetration observation

Broadhead penetration thread

And this is still one of the best answers ever posted here as to how to enhance penetration by a broadhead.

I didn't believe it when I heard it so I experimented myself. Two blade and four blade penetrate very well. I was extremely surprised to find that four blade penetrates better than three blade every time I tested it.

The scope of my observation was intended to be very narrow - all other variables being held constant, 4 blades consistently out penetrated 2 blades in this circumstance.

I wasn't really intending to draw any other conclusions. I know, however, that it is very common in many other threads for people to recommend using 2 blades over 4 blades for light weight bows. Personally, I like data, and the more the better.

Expected slightly more penetration from the 2 blade.
