The best blood trail comes from a well placed shot. Take any broadhead you like.

RE: BEST BLEEDERS
I have mixed feelings on this topic. I saw 3 deer that I shot go down within my sight, this year. Of the two that didn't........1 was a complete passthru.....(see 1st photo)
The other was a shoulder hit that penetrated both sides of the deer......but did not get full arrow penetration.........(see 2nd photo)
In both instances......the blood trail was NOWHERE NEAR what I would expect for an animal that died inside 40 yds and 110 yds, respectively. The trails were sparse.
I use the muzzy 3-blade in 125gr. I've recovered every deer I shot with them......so I won't be switching any time soon.

My vote would have to be for the wasp jackhammer, I have killed 5 deer with them now and they all were awesome. If you have any doughts check out Todd's blood trail in the new video its so wide he has trouble telling which way the buck ran.. Walt

Hypershock by aftershock archery. Expanables that expend after going in 1 inch so they dont deflect ever. 2 inch. cutting diameter. But best blood trail is shoot them in the heart and tip doesnt matter as much.

Personaly i prefer G5 Strikers, but I would think the bigger the cutting diameter the more the deer would bleed with a well placed shot. So if you want blood trails a blind man could follow try an expandable with 2 inch or bigger cut as long as your set up will get sufficiant penetration.
