30coupe, thanks for your input. I think a kme is order regardless.

Hey Bowwild, That was not an Atom broadhead with the wires, was it? Those are crazy. I don't see how they work but the guy that made them was pushing them pretty hard down here for a while.

They are incredibly tough animals.

A friend of mine shot a young boar which he could not recover. He has shot a ton of pigs and thought this was an OK shot.

3 months later he dogged the same boar when he cut it open you could see the 3 blade broad
head scar through one lung and the liver. Both were well on the way to healing.

They are real survivors!

I wouldn't sweat the results of one hit. Arrows often don't show the results we expect. They penetrate less, penetrate more, and take stranger paths than what they are "supposed" to all the time.

Three blade will give less penetration than a 2-blade, all other things being equal. Really not possible to get a three-blade as sharp as a 2 blade unless you rebevel the edges. Two blades have about a 22.5 degree bevel on each side of the cutting edge, for a 45 degree overall angle. Three blades are 30 degrees on a side for a 60 degree cutting edge. Less likely to turn over than a two blade, but can't get them as sharp.
