Title: direction or rotation for single edge BH
Post by: sar on September 03, 2007, 08:08:00 PM
How would I know which edges to bevel if I wanted to match RH fletching?

Copy the bevel of a Grizzly broadhead...

 
Quoteby Dr. Ashby, page 23,   http://www.tradgang.com/ashby/single-bevel-broadheads.pdf  

... When using a single-beveled broadhead, remember to always make the arrow's rotation in flight match the bevel-induced rotation. This means right wing fletching with a right single-bevel, like the Grizzly; and left wing with the left bevels, such as the Abowyer. If you fail to do this, a double-be'like-broadhead' will out-penetrate the single bevel.

SAR if confused look at the picture I inserted in the new Ashby report top of the pow wow. It shows a grizzly and a abowyer side by side.
Grizzly is right hand, Abowyer is left.
I know its backwards of what I would have thought. Thats where I usually go wrong though. Thought!!!  :D    :banghead:
