Why are the SilverFlame broadheads not available with "Bleeder Blades"?

Bleederblades (additional blades) are supposed to produce an additional cut at a 90° angle to the main blade. Ideally (complete penetration, no broken blade), this creates cross-shaped entry and exit wounds, thereby raising the chance of a better blood trail. However, the blood trail is more strongly associated with the point of impact than the number of blades. Often, it is thought that a greater destruction of tissue will lead to a stronger bleeding and ultimately causes the game to fall down. However, this ignores the fact that the additional cut takes place within the same small radius as the cut of the main blade. Because of this, the bleeding might only be minimally accelerated within that area. In fact, there is no proof of any relationship between escape distance and number of cutting blades of a broadhead. However, there is proof of a relationship between escape distance and penetration depth.

We had many discussions with surgeons about this issue. After all the analyzing of blood vessel structure we found that it makes more sense to generate a greater cutting radius which is accomplished with the SilverFlame XL broadheads. The bigger cutting width also achieves a higher penetration compared to one or two additional blades even at strongest game.
