scarey sharp 2 blade or soso sharp 3 blade

[flounder pounder]

Ive always shot WW and have had some great results using them, but I can only get them soso sharp. My question is, I have some Zwickey 2 blades that I can get scarey sharp, but I am hesitant to using them because of all the negative press 2 blades get on blood trails. I hunt in south Alabama and where I hunt, the woods are very, very thick almost jungle like. Im not trying to start a 2 bld. vs. 3 bld. tread, only want your opinions of what you would do.

I would go with the 2blade... I use both, But in the last few years, with the help of a KME sharpener, I love 2 blades... Never lost a deer with a 2 blade, lots of blood trail, and tough as nails when ive hit bone

scary sharp, what ever you use. I can get a three blade just as sharp as a two blade, if it shaves hair it is as sharp as it will get. do not know how you would tell if an edge was sharper than shaving sharp.

Go with what you can get the sharpest. I used Snuffers for a long time and had great luck with them on whitetails. Getting them sharp was tricky.
 I've switched to 2 blades because I can get a better edge on them. Last fall I took a few deer with the Muzzy Phantoms which did a great job for blood trailing.

Scary sharp trumps everything else.  

Scary sharp = penetration = blood trail = recovered dead animal.

Hit location and full penetration or lack there of determines the quality and quantity of blood trail you get.  The number of blades on your broadhead is low on the list for optimizing blood trails.  Far more important are perfect arrow flight, razor sharp heads, and the shooting skills to put the arrow in the boiler room.

You could check out our single bevel 3-blades. Because they are single bevel the angle is much sharper than a double bevel. Kinda the best of both worlds

Has any one used steel force phlat head need info,thinking about buying some for elk trip,I like the idea of sharp out of the package ....

Think about this.What will bleed more,a five inch cut from a barbwire fence or a one inch cut from a razorblade?

I've killed a bunch of animals with a 'scary' sharp 3 blade Wensel Woodsman......but I wouldn't hunt with a soso sharp nothin.

I shoot Magnus 2 blade Stingers and they are great.  It's easy enough to get them razor sharp.  They fly great, too.

You can also get them with bleeder blades.

They also have a lifetime warranty.

What's not to like?

I used to use Snuffers but these are easier and i have noticed no difference in effectiveness.

I will take scary sharp over so-so sharp anytime.

Thanks for all the advise. I just ordered some zwickey delta's with the bleeders. Maybe the 2 blades with the small bleeders will be a good compromise. I should be able to get these just as sharp as 2 blade zwickeys. Does anyone have a tip on sharpening the non-removeable bleeder?

[Zradix]

If you want a 3 blade just learn how to sharpen it.
Might take a while to learn but any skill worth having does. just my 2¢.

[3arrows]

If you can sharpen a knife,try a Muzzy Phantom both blades are removeable.4 blades scary sharp.

Whether it be 2 blade or 3 blade, I will find a way to get them shaving sharp or I won't hunt with them. Period.

For me I find 3 blades the easiest to get razor/scary sharp.  I have been using Razorcaps for several years now and nothing I have killed have I needed a bloodtrail for as everything has gone down in sight. The reason I say they are the easiest is the simple fact that you do not need any jigs to get them that way. I have never been able to get a 2 blade as sharp as I would like unless I used a KME or a Razor Edge jig. I can get woodsmans as sharp but I believe the steel in the RC's is of a slightly higher quality and they maintain an edge better. I can't speak about the newer  VPA/Woodsmans as I  have none to "play" with and the steel in the newer ones may be a bit better.  But....all of the animals I have killed with 2 blades died quickly, but as I have said on other posts I have yet to have a bloodtrail like the ones I get with multiblade heads.

Having said that, if you can get the two blades sharper by all means, then, they should be your heads of choice.

Scary sharp on ALL broadheads.

I watched Terry's four blade sharpening thread, I picked up some good tips, I made this shot with a 45# Bear Grizzly about 12-15 yards complete pass through. This head was shaving hair off my arm before it went into my  quiver
