[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4031535, member: 1409"] I helped a friend set up a custom crossbow (purchased thru [url=http://www.wyverncreations.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=260]http://www.wyverncreations.com/index.ph ... cts_id=260[/url] ) and the most highly recommended fixed blade seemed to be the Slick Trick Originals (standards) which are a 4-blade head in the 100 gr version. Of course, you need the right bolts to have the correct FOC, but according to them, better flight obtained with heavier brass inserts and lighter weight (100 gr) broadheads. Bolts using aluminum inserts would commonly need a heavier 125-150gr head to get ideal FOC. All things being equal, more cutting edge with a 4-blade than a 3-blade. But this particular 4-blade is a little smaller diameter than the 3-blades most are using, so probably equals about the same cutting. Advantage is smaller diameter flies better, while a 4-blade can make more of an open bleeding "hole" than just a "cut". For years, 4-blade Slick Trick wounds have been described as being much like shotgun "slug holes". [url=http://slicktrick.net/]http://slicktrick.net/[/url] [/QUOTE]
