Put another way, the length of the wound channel is more important than the width of the entry wound. All things being equal a two blade should give you a better chance at two leaking holes.
Yes but I get both so best of both worlds. With the draw weight he's shooting he could too.

I was being a little snarky, cause I helped Briar track a deer shot with one of those narrow two blades... worst blood trail I've ever seen. I draw 32" so I really don't have horsepower issues. Like Gary, I can get the best of both worlds!
Oops... shoulda been quoting Jerp there.

I like 3 blades, 4 blades, and wide 2 blades. I'm really skeptical that a well tuned arrow out of a 40 lb recurve bow wouldn't get through the offside ribs on a whitetail with any of the above if it's razor sharp. But if your draw is short, and arrow speeds low (152 is kinda low), then a wide (1.5") 2 blade or a standard 2 blade with bleeders(think Magnus Stinger) that's razor sharp would be my pick. Ever think about how narrow the chest cavity is on a Texas whitetail? You need like 8" of penetration to reach the offside ribs on a broadside center/center body cavity shot.
