Single bevel broadheads

[MikeEvans]

Would love to hear from anyone that has experience with the single bevel broadheads. Really dislike double bevel 2 blade heads, have stuck with the snuffers or double bevel bear heads with bleeder blades just makes me nervous gutting something with slivers of bleeder blades floating inside the cavity.

A four blade Zwickey delta has bleeder blades that won't break or come off.  I've killed a few animals with single bevel broad heads.  They work just fine.  Two blades usually don't leave as much of a blood trail as three- or four-blade heads, but any will do the job if put in the right place.  I often have single and double bevel heads in my quiver at the same time.

Abowyer makes some great heads

I vote is for grizzly broadheads. Tough and dependable. And now has a 3 blade.

I shot 2 pigs last year in Texas with an Aboyer and they left the best blood trails of any pigs I have shot.  The hole is like an S or L shape.

I've shot single bevel heads for the past 2 years and love them. Been shooting Alaska bowhunter Samari heads but asked for tuffheads for Xmas so will be trying them out come November.
I personly found they shoot better than most three blades I've shot and as much as I don't like to admit this I stuck a 2" sapling last year and that single bevel head split that sapling about a foot in either direction, pretty impressive.
Also they seem to sharpen easier that double bevel heads but I'm also somewhat sharpening handicapped:-)

I was given a 300 grain Tuffhead from Guru to try out last year. They flew great.  Ended up buying the meatheads with a steel adapter.  I have used Zwickey no mercy with success as well.. They work well with my lighter weight bows (49-52)#.  I am sure it has been beaten to death, but shot placement is paramount.

I love em. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. However if what you get works... you know the drill.

I made some small game heads out of keys.  After getting the things close to the weight I wanted, I mounted them.  On wooden shafts.  Then ground a single bevel on them   Shot them into a foam target.  Could not believe the penetration!  Also the S cut was impressive.  Realize these are not sharpened  keen, just ground.  Made me a believer

Roadkill i would love to see some pics.

Another vote for Abowyer and grizzly's. Not shot animal with grizzly yet but looks like great head. Abowyers have done well for me on deer.

Mike, email me your address and I'll send you a Grizzly. Then you can make up your own mind.

I have shot quit a few critters with all types of heads (except expandables) and have come to the conclusion that the single bevel two blade heads are the best for me for penetration.

I happen to love single bevel heads and have been using them for years. I don't think any one company's are clearly superior to another, but there certainly are differences. Maybe the best thing about them...aside from the edge...is that many are built thick, strong and heavy. Perfect for penetration; they really get the job done.

[Zradix]

single or double bevel heads...both work great.

I'd use whatever you can get sharpest.

Personally I've found VPA 3 blades the easiest to sharpen.

I've only used abowyer, grizzly, and zwickey single bev.

All three were fine...but the zwickey single bevel just isn't thick enough to be a very good single bevel IMO.
...the other zwickeys are GREAT though..or just get the double bev version of the one they make in single bev.

I have taken dozens of deer with the Grizzly head. Say what you will I get a much better blood trail from that head than any double bevel. I wouldn't dare offer an explanation other than the entry and exit are wide open and not the standard slit I experienced with Zwickies and the like.

Never shot a Grizzly head, but with Bill Dunn involved I am sure they are top shelf. I have killed critters with the Abowyer heads and have found them to be excellent. Great warranty, although have not needed a claim yet and have shot them through a lot of rib cages. Touch up the heads and they are ready to go again. These heads come from mfg.  deadly sharp and hold the edge forever! Blood trails are excellent as well, although have not had any critters go out of sight yet. Good steel and fly like darts. A lil pricey for some but with lifetime warranty and that kind of quality it is the head for me!

I've shot SBs for a few years and love them for penetration esp. The moose in my avatar was killed with a Zwickey No Mercy out of a 54# LB and got complete penetration. He was down in about 15 seconds.

[Steve Chappell]

I have used no mercy with great success on whitetail & Turkey but went to Grizzly Kodak 190s to pick up serious gr weight for Elk and Moose hunting. I now use only the 109s for simplicity reasons.  I support Kevin's take on single bevels.

[RC]

I like the Grizz myself. I have killed a few critters with them the last couple of years. I can get them sharper than any head I`ve used. I shoot bows under 48 lbs.

 

look at the "s" cut in the off leg..
