I used ZWICKY for almost 15 years and only trade and stone for the last 15years.

My 2cents worth . Avoid the replaceable bleaders and go for a solid two blade design of your choice. The last thing you want is to recover your arrow with no bleeder blade left in it and then have to guess where you might find it during field dressing. I didn't find mine , but haven't used them since.
rover brewer:
ok to all that have posted is it 2, 3, 4 blades and how do you line up 2 blades . thanks.
lostarrow:
I prefer 2 . I think it would be easier to push a flat blade through than one that has pieces sticking out the side to hang up on ribs,etc. I don't recall seeing a whole lot of 3 and 4 blade Knapped stone or bone points. Just a personal observation . With a heavy enough bow and a clean shot I would think it's just a matter of preference. As far as orientation goes, do you really plan on making your shot at precisely the exact distance to ensure that the rotation of your arrow coinsides with the 2 blades lining up vertically and slicing through between the ribs without touching them?That business about the Native Americans lining up their points for man or beast would probably give them a good laugh if someone asked them.
rover brewer:
You made some good points lol. thanks
