Our staff here at VPA often get asked what is the difference between our vented and non-vented broadheads. While there is not a substantial difference with regards to testing results, our team believes there are some slight variations of performance in certain situations. While we pride ourselves on the fact that all of our broadhead products fly like field points, broadheads overall, based on their engineered design, will travel a bit differently then their more sleek counterpart, the field point. On the average, customers can see a bit more forgiveness with regards to flight/accuracy with a vented head compared to a non-vented head. There are some tradeoffs with this though, as you can get some slight noise from air moment with the vented products. With this being said, we suggest customers shoot whatever they feel comfortable with. The overall durability, reliability, and maintenance of each of these products is still second to none!
