I want to try out 100 grain fixed blade. WHat flys the best 3 blade or 4 blade?
I need info. I have been shooting NAP spitfires for 3 years and would like to see what they can do. I have been reading about how expandles can deflect on quarting away.

Out of my bow:

Slick Tricks fly good.
NAP Nitrons fly good.
Sonics fly good.

Muzzys fly bad.
Thunderheads fly bad.

You are going to get a hundred answers.

I'd pick Nitrons because they are sharp, they fly well, they are tough, and they are available everywhere.

Northforker is right about a hundred different answers. I know people that swear for and against each arrowhead mentioned by Northforker.

But, back to your question which was 3 verses 4 bladed fixed.

The answer is not quite so easy. Any 3 or 4 blade broadhead that is straight can be tuned to fly very well. But the larger the diameter the more wind it catches. For any given weight, a 4 blade broadhead usually has less effective diameter than the 3 blade in the same broadhead. So, off the cuff, the answer is 4 bladed broadheads fly better than 3 ----- but not so fast.

Remember that I said that a straight broadhead can be tuned to fly very well. That is true, and because greater diameter means more cut veins and arteries, and therefore more blood trail, one should not necessarly discount 3 bladed boradheads.

Personally, I find no difference in flight between 3 and 4 bladed broadheads within the same weight and the same brand.

I use to use Thunderheads and switched last fall to the Magnus stingers and the Montecs used them both with excellent results. They both fly great both a very durable, the magnus has a life time guarantee regardless of what happens to them!
