I’m gonna be using this head this year and was wanting to see some blood trails and hunting stories from those that use them. I searched but didn’t find anything. Thanks

Shot one of my Black Bears with a Zwickey Detla four blade in New Brunswick Canada. The bear was shot with a 65# Dick Robertson Montana Falcon recurve, a 650gr tapered maple arrow with 5 1/2" banana fletching. Shot was approx 20 yards and the arrow was a pass through and went another couple yards beyond the bear and stuck in the ground. The bear ran 50 yards and went down and did a death moan. As far as a blood trail there was very little properly because the bear didn't go to far. On inspection I double lunged him.

Killed a nice Yukon moose with a 4-blade Delta, as well as a couple of black bear, and elk or two and quite a few white tails. Though I've also used a few other heads recently, the 4-blade Delta is still my favorite.

My new favorite catch phrase about broadheads, "they work like you think they should work". Lol.
My only issue with the 4 blade is you can't remove the "bleeder" blades which makes it more difficult to use a file on them but that also makes them more durable too. They won't (shouldn't) break off inside an animal.
I was given some 4 blades and just ground off the "bleeder" blades. How I roll.

If you’re talking about the bleeder, adjust your file angle to miss the bleeder. I like to finish with a jewel stick because you can angle away from the bleeder same as the file. Or, some like to file a few thousandths off the top of the bleeder and resharpen the bleeder.

I put it in a vise and then sharpen with a triangular file, for more clearance. I like to first get a low angle on the blade with a medium triangular crosscut file until I get a sharp serrated edge, then touch it up lightly with a medium bastard triangular file. really cuts on contact. Use the bastard to sharpen the bleeder. The vice helps allot. Strop with a piece of leather. Kills elk very well.

I have killed killed 4 deer with 4bl Delta 2 with 4bl eskalite, Good blood trails. 5 dead in sight. Very happy with them. good penetration and arrow flight. Best way to sharpen bleeder blades is with small file sold by Raptor Archery.
