Default 3 blade vs 4 blade broadheads

I've been using a couple versions of the 3 blade cut on contact fixed blade (Cabelas Copperhead-type)with great success for the kind of hunting I do. Since I have this weird need to buy more hunting gear I've been thinking about trying a 4 blade broadhead like the Muzzy. Anyone here have experience with 4 blades and what differences there might be, for instance, harder to tune, more noise?

Try Grim Reaper hades or Tooth of the Arrow broadheads.

They both tune great. Both 4 blades.

I have used the copperheads in the past, it’s a decent 3 blade head for the price. I’m using slick trick standards now. They seem to work pretty good. Not very noisy from what I’ve noticed. This past year I just did a small adjustment to my sight to get them zeroed in. The point of impact was just a little off of where my field tips were hitting. Can’t speak for the muzzy, cause I’ve never tried them.

Sorry I meant the new Micro Hades, there are 3 and 4 blade options.

Strikers -same as the copperhead- and slick trick mags. Both shoot to the same POI as my field tips. I have the (completely unproven) idea that 3 blades will penetrate better than 4 at 60 yards, so I carry both and switch back and forth depending on what I'm expecting. But id be completely confident putting either in the right spot at any distance I'd shoot at.
