You guys are not understanding the serrated BH construction.........each indentation actually INCREASES the cutting area of the blade but the razor sharp cut remains so the bleeding vs straight edge will be no different and in theory better. They are not serrated like a saw that tears as it cuts. Having said that I have shot deer with Buzzcutts and Stingers alike for about 8 years now and they both kill deer VERY well. I don't prefer one over the other and neither performs any better or worse. I carry a mixed quiver of them quite often. I have also butchered a bunch shot with serrated SteelForce heads and they do PLENTY of damage. A serrated head is a more then adequate BH to tip your arrows with. Lots of guys just don't understand and listen to old wives tales at the archery shops.
Iv'e heard good things about the Magnus Stinger broadheads but no one says wether they use 2 or 4 blade?
if money were no issue... id have like 20 trucks, a mansion and about 2000 acres to hunt. but youre talking about broadheads. i dont think ill ever try them. not because i dont think they work, im pretty sure if you put a hole big enough with any cutting device it will bleed out(if you hit where you need to). but i go by "if it aint broke". on the same token, ill be giving swackers a try next year.
what i mean by that is the straight blades. non-serrated blades have been killing game for thousands of years, and will be long after we are dead. and even mechanicals have straight blades.
I use and like the 4 blade Magnus Stinger. The 4 blade will open up the wound channel and obviously have more surface cutting area. I think the 4 blade stinger is the perfect balance between a true 4 blade BH and a 2 blade.
All I know is that when I get cut with a very sharp knife,it can usually be glued back together with surgical glue,if it is a jagged cut,it requires stitches.This is where MY THEORY comes from. Deer can and often do lie down and lick a wound until it closes up and stops bleeding.Don't know for sure that a serrated would help in this area but in my minds eye,it seems that it would. I do know I was VERY PLEASED at the job my Buzzcuts did this year as far as blood was concerned.
