Default Bloodrunner vs. T- Head Edge

I've looked at the T- Head Edge and the 2 blade Blood Runner and I can't decide between the two. I'm shooting a Hoyt Redline, pulling back 70 pounds. Can anyone give me some opinions and/or suggestions? Thanks

I don't know how to post images but you can find a good picture of it at the NAP website. It looks just like the normal thunder head but with serrations.

I am going to try the blood runners, but I do like the looks of the t head.

It's kind of a back and forth battle between the two. The T- head has the serrations and offset design while the bloodrunner has the massive 2 1/16 inch cut and great blood trails. I just don't know what would be best.

Has there been any tests on these two broadheads that anyone knows of? Other than live hunts, such as ballistics gel?

I don't know of any tests but I will do some looking.

A side note has anyone else found the 2 blade bloodrunner to be dull out of the package? I just picked a set up and they are pretty dull. Not a big deal I know how to sharpen them and always do. Just wondering if that is the way they come or if it is a fluke.

Not sure if our tech guys tested these through ballistics gelatin yet or not. Most of our early R&D "tests" are for flight characteristics and durability/strength. Though we do shoot heads into gelatin as well.

As for a not-so-scientific test, I did have a guy send me a video (same guy as in a previous video) who shot both through a piece of tin backed with compressed wood. The 2-blade actually penetrated about 2" deeper through the barriers than the EDGE, though the POI wasn't dead nuts. The EDGE hit a the target high, and the barriers actually fell over, which may have had something to do with the difference in penetration, as the arrow likely lost momentum as the target/barrier itself tipped over ...

Of course, as odd as it may seem, the 2-blade is going to penetrate well, even with the large cut. The geometry of a standard 2-blade design means a more streamlined geometry in general—and the same is true of the 2-blade BR.

To this point, the vast majority of the critters shot with the 2-blade have been complete pass-thru's ... including several hogs, and a Kudu!

Either way, both of these heads are more than capable of deep penetration/pass-thru penetration ... especially on a deer sized animal.

I didn't think to take photos, but I just finished broadhead tuning my new Maxxis today ... and they do some wicked damage to a Block Fusion target as well, lol!

They "shouldn't" be dull at all! One thing that you might consider, the edge angle is a bit steeper than most other heads—due to the thickness of the blades, but I've yet to handle one that was actually dull!

If you want to send me the specific head you're talking about, I can have a look at it ... if it did somehow make it through QC "dull" ... I'll be glad to send it back with some replacement blades!

All the 2-blades I've handled have been sharp ... so much so that I've had to be very careful when handling them for photography purposes ... lol.

See that is what everyone has told me so far, it is not a big deal I plan to sharpen them any way. I do so with all my heads, I was just wondering more if my idea of sharp and someone else was different. I do thank you for allowing me to send them in but I really don't mind sharpening them was just wanting to know. I know things happen and no matter how hard you try things will slip past Q/C I am in the manufacturing business and know all to well that things can just sneak by.

It has in no way deterred me from using them or buying more in the future. In fact I plan on buying at least 12 hellrazors this year since you are offering such a good deal on them. They last forever but at the price I just can't say no!

Again thanks for checking in and answering questions I will just sharpen them with no hard feelings. A side note, do you know the grind angle of the head?
