Took two deer with Abowyers. Bonehead and Brownbear. I’d like to try the Ironwills. They incorporate single bevel bleeders. I imagine they do some wicked damage.

I like Abowyer and Tuffhead but they weight more than 200 at least the screw in.

I never had much of a blood trail w two blades until I tried Cutthroat BH's. Shot a P&Y class Moose with the first shot at game in 2015. Easy walk-a-long on that trail. Using 190 gr glue on. Easy to sharpen too.
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Grizzly Kodiaks,
Good size cut
Fly great
Tough as nails
I can get them really properly sharp
Penetrate extremely well on my heavy wooden arrows
I've got heaps of confidence in them, if I do my part, I know they will sure do theirs.

Good luck looking/deciding, it's actually part of the fun hey....

Best
Lex

Good hunting to you all.
May the wind be your friend, and may your arrows fly true,
Most of all, may the appreciation and the gratitude of what we do keep us humble......

 There are a lot of great single bevel broadheads out there I like Grizzly's I really like I can buy 6 of them for under $50.

I've used the 190 grain glue-on Cutthroats and the 190 grain glue-on Meatheads with good results. Both are easy to sharpen and seem to be pretty tough. Grizzlies are cheaper but I bought some 185 grain glue-ons and their actual weight varied quite a bit.

I switched last year. Used Grizzly Kodiaks - 200 grain. Great broadheads. Took two whitetail does with them. Both made it less than 40 yards. Do note, They're $84 for a half dozen now plus tax and shipping. I also like even better, the Tuffhead, meathead broadhead that I acquired and used on a spring bear hunt this year. They sharpen easier than the Grizzly heads, and are hunting sharp out of the package. $117 for a half dozen plus shipping and sales tax. Expensive, but well worth the money for how I use them.

I’ve used Abowyer Brown Bears (Carbon Steel) which are wicked sharp but to me mine were prone to tip curl. Killed 3 Deer with them and all had tip curl. Switched to Abowyer Boneheads 1-1/4” cut still wicked sharp and they work great and much more solid, no tip curl. I used Iron Will 250 Grain Single Bevel Buff Edition / no bleeder in Africa and they are wicked sharp & retention is impressive. They are only 1-1/16” cut and I wanted the 3/4” single bevel bleeder but there was no stock on them. The 1-1/16” Single bevel penetrated unbelievably but blood letting is not ideal. The one thing the Iron Wills have is ridiculous edge retention… I personally bet the bleeder would help on blood letting… Nothing wrong with the Abowyer Boneheads either  :goldtooth:

I use 190gr glue on Cutthroat on epoxied in 75 grain brass adaptors so no threads to loosen. The Cutthroat is milled from a single piece of steel with no seams or spotwelds. Unlike many SB broadheads they seem to leave a good blood trail and so far, a relatively short one.

I've been shooting the Grizzly Kodiaks and am very happy with them.  Others are good as well I'm sure, but I don't see me changing.
