Single bevel vs. double bevel

(1/5) > >>

WhistlingBadger:
I've always used double bevel (Zwickey eskimos, to be exact).  Wondering what the pros and cons are for big game.

Pat B:
They both work well for taking game.I think the thing about single bevel if in combination with fletch helical that allows the arrow to spin the same as the bevel the momentum, both forward and in spinning will split bone if it's hit plus it supposedly aids penetration.

Chief RID:
I think it is just marketing to get us old guys to buy new heads. I sure have not put enough broad heads through deer to form an opinion. Clay Hayes uses a single bevel.

bradsmith2010:
I think the difference would be hair splitting,, with a primitive bow,, but I am just guessing,,maybe there are advantages I have not come to appreciate,,,

StickMark:
My test results. Using two separate 3/4 " pine boards and shots out of a 43 pound bow, same arrow weights, an Ace 160 grain double bevel went in 5/16 inch, cracked wood 4 inches. The Grizzly SB 153 grain went in 15/16 ", and made a 6 inch crack.  Didn't shoot on a moving mulie buck at 20 yards (that is separate topic), so as if yet, only targets, and an S shape cut occurs, whether cardboard or wood. Profile is also what I like, so maybe an advantage there w 3to1.
