Title: bleeder blades
Post by: SuperK on June 25, 2007, 06:34:00 PM
I was wondering if you could use bear bleeder-blades in a Magnus 4-blade bh?  I like the idea that the bleeder-blade would breakoff if you hit something thicker than a rib.  Thanks

I have done that, the blade is a little thinner but a drop of superglue in the slot handles that. I also liked the fact it would break off, i believe that is how fred designed them..

When I first started using the big Magnus I the factory bleeder blades just looked too "Choppy". My solution was to use the Bear bleeders and it worked just great.

I got over my fear of the factory bleeders and had a lot of fantastic blood trails with them and no penetration problems.

Lately I've been using the Bear bleeders again... just because I can.

I do like Dave does except I prefer a little fletching cement to hold them.

Thanks for the feedback yall.  I really do think the bear bleeders give you the best of both worlds.  A 4-blade going in and a 2-blade when things start getting tuff.  Once again thanks.  Looks like its time to order again!

Charlie & Dave,

Thank you for the tip Gentlemen!!!!!   :notworthy:

I have not been using the bleeders in my old green Razorheads because the bleeders pull loose when I remove them from my Selway bow quiver.

Thanks Again!!!!!
