3 blade kill pics please
« on: November 12, 2015, 12:10:00 AM »
I just ordered some 200 grain VPA 3 blades to try. I've always used a two blade (mostly single bevel recently), and never had an issue shooting through the shoulder of a deer and still getting two holes.

I'm sure with my set up (60# at my 30.5" draw/597 grain arrow), I've got plenty of juice for any whitetail on the planet. I'm just curious if anybody has some aftermath photos of these broadheads hitting shoulder blades.

Just a confidence booster. And yes...I've already done a search. May consider using them for elk next year if they perform well enough and can hold up.

I don't have any pics but they did a number on a spine of a big whitetail yesterday. I severed it twice and the third took out ribs and shoulder on finishing shot. This was with a 47# Border Covert Hunter

No pics but i shot a 6 point last Saturday with a 200 gr vpa 3 blade. 63# longbow 630grain arrow. Shot through top of the left shoulder blade, the front of the heart and exited through the right leg and stuck in the ground. Excellent blood trail and 30 yd recovery. Great heads

My most memorable. Used a Razorcap and the moose took 3 steps and went down.

My son and his first recurve deer. Aidan is 14 and started hunting on his own in a tree stand last year. Needless to say he learned a lot without dad sitting over his shoulder. 3 blade 125 grain woodsman and not so perfect hit. 44# Tall Tines. Pass through!!

Well, I honestly want to see the difference in blood trails. While my two blades are tanks and can shoot through a rhino, there have been a couple times where deer shot through the lungs fell in sight, but never really left much of a blood trail. I like to experiment and better understand the capabilities of different equipment.

I love the consistently good blood trails I get with three blade heads.
