Take a piece of paper and stretch it tight, just printing or tablet paper. Now take a single blade head on a short piece of shaft and push it thru the paper. Now try a three blade broadhead and do the same thing and if both heads are sharp, tell me which goes thru the easiest. Now think of a low poundage bow which would be the best to use??

Nobody even tried it? No one has a opinion?

The 3 blade will win that contest and in real life and death give you a better blood trail too.  No brainer

I hunt with three blade heads, but I use enough bow and 600 gr arrows to get full double-lung and out penetration.

I would use 3 blade heads, if I could get the darn things sharp! I am a bit sharpening challenged in general though

This season i had mostly 2 blade heads on most my mid 40's poundage bows, and half of those were single bevel...

I have a lot of snuffers,, i used them for years but bought any deals that popped up along the way...

So while in the stand studying a 190 ribtek on the end of my arrow a voice came to me and said "you must only shoot big snuffers starting next opening day"

 I will be shooting bows from 43# to 55# and im shooting the original snuffers from everything including my 44# selfbow,,,,,, I'm officially back to hunting alone again after a friend moved so next season im not praying and hoping for a good blood trail anymore even with 1 entrance hole i will have plenty of
blood and i know from using these heads before whatever gets shot ain't going far..

As far as sharpening,,  don't sharpen like a two blade and expect a two blade edge... its a steeper bevel once it easily slices through rubber bands use it...

I have to say I switch to VPA 175's and sharpen them on "Stay Sharp" Radiused sharping tool. Made a real difference!

I thought I was as well. Switched my sharpening method for my VPA 3 blade heads.

Grabbed a 6" pvc pipe & a bunch of different grit sandpaper & a piece of leather.

The 6" pvc pipe puts a steeper blade angle vs laying flat & sharpening that way. Makes my VPA's FEEL significantly sharper!

I never heard of that and Im a plumber!  I can't wait to try that,,,, I wonder if you could wet sand the final edge even if its oil and it gives it that polished scalpel wickedness.

My final step was leather over the pvc with some polishing compound-mirror edge
