Alright team, I'm thinking of going to the Single bevel route this year, I'm looking for a 190-200 broadhead, let me know what you recommend and why
Thank you all
-
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.

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

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:

Abowyers are great heads. pick the one that fits your needs

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.
