No blood with 2-blade single bevel broad heads?

Is shot this bull with the Kudu 100 grain broadheads. He didn’t go far, plenty of blood.

I also have had sparse blood trails with small 2 blade Broadheads. I only shoot them now if I think penetration will be an issue, - brown bear, moose, where I used an Iron will with bleeder so not a true 2 blade. I’ve seen a couple others shot with small 2 blades and don’t like it. The hole closes too easy

Now I have killed a couple animals with a rage hypodermic 2” and it did leave a great blood trail. So my thought is if you go 2 blade go big. Otherwise I will stick to a 3 blade

This I have found to be very true myself. If you don’t like mech. heads shoot the widest best made fixed blades you can. I really like German kenitics XL or even better the XXL. Simmons are more reasonably priced heads that offer a wider cut. But we have had great success with mech. heads also. Of course it has to be put in the right spot, but when placed properly a big hole generally leads to heavier blood trails, and the animal passing much quicker means shorter tracking jobs. There is a less expensive alternative to the German kenitics from Germany ( although I do suggest these) Grizzly stick also offers them, not quite as well made but still a good head and costs a little less. I to went through a single bevel phase, and didn’t find really any advantage to them. And find big wide holes ( two preferably ) to be a big advantage.

Shot the Kudu contour plus this year. Fly as good as any other fixed blade I’ve shot and the blood trail on my bull was probably the best blood trail I’ve ever had. I was impressed enough to keep shooting them even though I normally like to tinker. Just really loving the way they fly and my sample size of 1 was great. I’m in the camp that shot location matters way more than broadhead as far as blood trail goes though. I choose a broadhead more on how it flies and it’s build quality, both of which were as good as I could ask for with the Kudu. If you put the broadhead where it’s supposed to go then the blood trails will be good. There isn’t a broadhead out there that a person who made a “perfect” shot hasn’t complained about a bad blood trail.

Well said.

I shot 2 blade heads (Magnus) for many years with questionable to poor blood trails. I will never shoot a 2 blade head again. Love the 4 blade slicktrick magnums.

Those Kudu's have me quite intrigued, mainly due to the way they flair out (I'm assuming that's what they mean by contour) as opposed to my other "narrow" heads. Have you shot the heads with the bleeders yet? Curious as to how they fly compared to the the heads without them.

I shot a whitetail yesterday with the new Kudu Contour+. He died within 30 yards. Blood trail was minimal as he died so quickly. 15 yard shot and watched him tip over within 10 seconds.
