Hey everyone-
I am curious how important the size of the entry hole is?
I recently picked up a cheap set of the older Epek heads to try out. I am spot on out to 70 yds, stacking arrows on top of each other. They fly crazy good.
My concern is, in researching these heads, many have made mention of field point size entrance holes. The blades can deploy a little slow and not fully open until inside the animal. However, the damage done inside and the exit holes are amazing.
If this is the case, I don't foresee a small entrance hole being an issue. If the exit hole is a massive gaping wound then there will be no problem tracking. Now I understand if you hit bone like a shoulder blade and lose penetration, the animal will not bleed much because of the small entrance hole.
I am not too concerned about penetration with 75 lbs of KE, but am curious as to what the consensus is with importance of entry hole size.
