When I went on a black bear hunt 2 years ago with an archery shop I was the only trad hunter among compound and crossbow guys. We had a 90% kill/recovery. Most of those guys used 4 blade heads of some type and had very small blood trails. I on the other hand used a 2 blade and a huge blood trail. Keep in mid these guys were shooting 370-425 grain avg arrow weight with 4 blade steep angle heads. My set up was around 560 and 2 blade. Just my observation. I will be using 2 blades the rest of my hunting life. By the way, I have a brand new set of Phantom heads if anyone is looking for some…8)
