Broadheads for bear?

(1/2) > >>

Mesophilic:
Aside from a heavy finished arrow weight,  any special consideration for broadheads for bear hunting?  I'm thinking single bevel at a 3:1 length to width ratio.

As a follow up (I can never keep this stuff straight), when sighting down the arrow from the knock, which way should the bevel slant with right wing feathers glued on with a right helical clamp?

Pat B:
Right wing, right bevel.   3/1 ratio is good for penetration but for heavy bone you might consider a little less length to beef up the point. Maybe 2,2.5/1

Thanks, makes sense on the ratio. 

So for that right bevel...when looking down the arrow as if I'm shooting it...should I cut thr bevel on the right side of the broadhead?  From right to left, so that the bevel slants left?  Or do I have it backwards?

Pat B:
Yes, looking down the arrow at the broadhead the bevel will be on the right side of the broadhead.

Hawkdancer:
I believe Artcher1 recommended a bit of a tanto point as well, not too long ago.  Good luck on the hunt!
