I am wanting to know if the 7/8" bleeder blade on the larger 145 gr broadhead really makes a difference or not.As far as blood trails go.
Here is the reason for the question.I have bear trip booked this spring in Canada.I have shot the 145 eclipse head for years even before they where called eclipse.I have had some great and not so great blood trails.
I have hunted with the Simmonns tree shark the last couple years with 4 whitetails shot and great blood trails on all 4.(Huge blood trails)
It seems that a lot of people see the need for a multi blade head on bear.I want to settle this part of my equipment if you know what I mean.I can not imagine a bears hair and fat closing the hole behind a simmons tree shark.I like blood on the ground and lots of it.
I shot a nice bear with just that head two years ago...ran only 35 yards... shot a buck last year with it...ran 40 yards... use it with the bleeder.
If ya want a littl more cut, Braveheart sells a 1-1/16" bleeder that works in the Eclipse heads.
