Last year I used the MUZZY 100gr 3 blade and had pretty good luck with it. This year I was thinking about switching to the MUZZY 100gr 4 blade. Any advantages to the 4 blade vs the 3 blade on whitetail? Im shooting a Martin Compound set @ 70#. Thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />

I use the four bladed 90's...
I like how they tune and how they fly.
They seem to bust stuff open better than a three blade too.....

I love the 4 blade design, How could anything be more simple and consistant than a perfect x slot. I also use the 90's.

There's more cutting surface to the 4 blade vs the 3 blade. However, as long as their sharp and placed where they should be, I doubt there's much difference. We have been using the 3 blade on deer and elk with very good success - pass throughs on proper broadside hits even on large 6 pt bulls (2) and one cow elk. All the deer have been pass throughs. I friend gave me a 4 blade and I like how it shoots - I may pick them up the next time I need to purchase. Borrow one and give it a try. I don't think it's worth the cost however, unless your low on 3 blades heads . JMO.

I've been able to tune a 4 bladed 90 gr. muzzy to the same impact point as a 90 grain field tip, which is why I like 'em so much. Never had that kind of luck with a 3 bladed head. Maybe it's voodo maybe it's not. But I tune hunting shafts with nocks perfectly indexed with the vanes and with the blades indexed off the nock straight up/down and across horizontal. That in combination with a perfect bare shaft paper tune...the 4 bladed always have shot better than the three bladed with regards to same impact as same weight field tips.

Four blades are better than three. Better blood trails! The 90 grain Muzzys are my preferred broadhead. Penetration will be astounding! Very little windplaning! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Update: Add another bull elk to the list. While calling, a 4 pt bull tried to back-door us to catch our scent. He walked out 10 yards from my pard, who shot him through the lungs. The arrow passed through the back edge of the off side shoulder blade, some 2" in from the end and was found laying on the ground. The bull traveled about 50 yards and went "hooves up" ! The 3 blade work's well. I think either head will work for you. Shoot em both and take your pick. BT
