Anything without the vents would be my new go to. 160 or so glue on would be good. The vents make them whistle I think.

i'm dead serious....ever shot a watermellon with vented and not vented? i have.the vented poured out a lot more fluid in the test we tried.i shot a muley buck with non vented and had a hard time finding blood trail after 100 yds...every elk i have shot with snuffers has left me a solid blood trail to follow right up to the animal.the vents are there there for a reason,the companies put them in for bleeding purposes not for looks.just my opinion...prove me wrong and i'll take my hat off to ya........larry

I would love to see a heavier glue on, 150-175 grain. After sharpening a 125, I'm left with a 117-118 grain head, then I have to add lead to it. Last season I weighted them up to 150 gr. and liked that.
Maybe a tad wider also. I have found after sharpening a couple times, they get close to being not legal here as far as width.
Great head though. I've taken roughly twenty animals including turkey, mulies, whities, antelope, and elk with them. Good short blood trails.

the vents are to get the weights right at the dimensions needed for the finished product.Has nothing to do with more bleeding.

The design /specs dont need vents to finish at desired weight. They dont just put toether a head and whatever it comes out at they market. I would think with todays engineers and tool and die capabilities it is pretty well pre-designed then fine tuned and tested to arrive at specs from a print.

If the vents remained solid in the new one piece elite they would not finish out at the desired weight in the final dimensions from the machining print.
