2 blades, who shoots them?

NMSbowhunter said:
Before going to 2 blade single bevel broadheads I shot Magnus Singers and then Magnus Stinger Buzzcuts, 100 grainers. I felt the Buzzcuts with the bleeder blades worked better for me. I did have some broadheads get damaged, but the deer were dead. For a lightweight fixed blade head, they are very good.

At least with Magnus they’ll send you new heads…….

I hear u on that....after I sharpen before season starts I slather my broadheads in vasoline..... No rust and helps ease the pain of insertion for the animal

u can use a little bit of light oil and it works good too. Some of the carbon steel blades rust almost instantly.

This is #1 on why i made the switch. I dont see enough of an advantage using the GrizzlyStiks i shot for 2 seasons and had to retire after 1 shot often times. They were great heads but u hit anything hard and they chipped bad. Magnus take a little longer to sharpen but they work great and its a $35-40 investment that lasts a lifetime. I do love the single bevels but i shoot a lot of does and it gets real expensive. I just saw how much a shop charges for "organic" venison though and good god im sitting on a gold mine! 10 deer is worth damm near 10k if you nickel and dime it lol
 
I shot some 2 blades last year. They're amazon knock offs. I got them crazy sharp and the quality was no problem at all. BUT the blood trails were AWFUL. I heart shot the buck I killed last year and literally never found a drop of blood. I have to bring in a doggo. Luckily, things turned out fine and I do attribute part of it to there not being a pass through but gosh it scared me.

I also shot 2 does with the same heads. Heads held up great. Deer died not too far off but almost no blood trail to speak of.

I believe you. But I’ve never had a heart shot deer run out of sight.

Guess that depends a lot on how far you can see. I killed a doe a couple years back that went a total of 60 yards but it was so thick you wouldn’t have found her without the red carpet of blood she left

i got the vpa single bevel 200. Now I wanna get the kme an a strop gonna be razor’s

Just get stropping compound, white and green ( i like to use both). You can use cardboard from a cereal box and it loads up great and works 100% just as good...imo.
the kme works really good. Get the one that has the extra adjustable thingy though.

Yeah I can see how that is possible. I hunt south GA and most of the untouched woods are jungles. Still is surprising to me, I can agree the 2 blades don’t have great blood trails. But I don’t have that problem with the single bevel 2 blades. The exit is much more square and dumps blood.

This is what I have seen as well with 2 blade single bevels. You get that L shaped cut from the twisting effect the rotation causes. If you look closely in the picture below you can see a pattern to the hair that is spiral shaped along with the L shaped cut in this exit wound.
