The Blood Runner's job is to leave a gushing wound for a massive blood trail. Its chiseled design gives it a low profile in flight for field-point accuracy. Even if it's closed it will still leave a 1" cut guaranteed! The Blood Runner's .036"-thick stainless steel blades open upon contact to a full 1-1/2" for wide devastation. Per 3.
Cutting diameter: 1-1/2".
Weight: 100 gr.
I started shooting my field tips about 4 months prior to the 2011 whitetail season, and was dialed in out to 50 yards. I was easily hitting tennis ball sized groupings from 30 yards, and even tighter groups from 20 and in. I say all that to say I was shooting well on the practice range. I've always used fixed blades prior to this year, but decided to try the bloodrunners hoping they would be the best of both worlds (mechanical and fixed blade#. Boy was I wrong! I missed my first 4 shots on deer in 2011, all from 25 yards or closer, and made a good hit on my 5th opportunity. I never found that deer, as the blood trail was nearly non-existent. I'll never use these again, and I'll stick to fixed blades from here on out. I don't recommend these heads, and frankly, think their use is unethical. We #hunters, especially archery hunters in my opinion) pride ourselves on making good, clean shots on animals. This head doesn't promote accuracy or recovery. What a shame.
i just shot a deer with these blood runners yesterday made a great shot on it but it didn't get good penetration but it left a good size entrance hole and when i went to go track it down i could not find any blood at all until i found the deer i wouldn't recommend these at all
helped my brother track a deer the other day that he one lunged with these broadheads. arrow was covered in blood and blood trail was steady with bubbles in it. blood trail stopped after 150 yards and the deer was not recovered. very dissapointed with these broadheads. the results would have been different with a fixed blade broadhead. dont waste your money buy a product that works to save yourself the frustration of all day track jobs.
i bought the three blade the red ones two hunting seasons ago this year i shot a buck with it, really impressed with the cutting hole not sold on the blood trail, even though i seen the deer fall over 50 yards. my buddy went out west shot a elk not good for big game so stick with whitetail deer very good, fly ok, nothing over 40 yards though.
