wow, I gotta say.............
well I don't know what to say.
If the difference between finding a deer and not is because of slightly stiffer fletchings, you have other issues at hand. I don't buy it. By by the time your fletchings hit the animal the head is already out the other side. the damage is done and the deer will be down or won't depending on shot placement.
I used a bunch of heads this year, just see "BLOODTRAILS". sometimes the same heads dropped the animal quickly(50yds or closer) some went a bit further. Somtimes one left great blood, other times not. I found no correlation between distance traveled and blood left. somtime the longer ones had more blood sometimes it was the shorter ones. I also saw no correlation between head size and bloodtrail. I had "ok" trails with the spitfires and great trails with the Boss Bullet. Shot placement and what I call "unknown deer factors" seemed to dictate what was left on the ground. each shot is different no matter how much it looked just like the previous one.
My point? well, had I had a good bloodtrail with a head and a poor one from the same head in the "same" spot, with different fletchings, I could conclude that the fletchings were the difference. I had the same fletchings so I know it wasn't them. when you look hard enough to justify something you can always find "answers"........even if they aren't really there.

I had to scratch my head when I read it. I got the impression that even after the broadhead did it's job, the Blazer vanes were somehow helping to close the wound.
Nice response Michi with the meter ;D

The "theory" was that the fletchings were too stiff and bruised the area around the wound, therefore making the blood congeil and not allowing it to flow. Honestly, if anything I think the vanes would help pull debris/clots and chunks out of the hole. either way it shouldn't really matter

Well I finally got around to reading this thread and seeing as the person who was saying it says alot of off the wall things.....it all fits now. I will have to agree that the technical aspect as it pertains to clotting does make sense but the clotting action takes alot longer than the animal has , in order to effectively work to retard blood flow if that animal is hit through the vitals. I think the B.S. meter needs another area available beyond man the life boats |
