Title: what bevel do I have?
Post by: robferg on October 29, 2014, 08:22:00 AM
I have several packs of grizzly broadheads and don't know what bevel I have. I shoot left wing feathers and was told I have to use left bevel on the broadheads. How do I tell what bevel do I have?

Very simple. Hold the head point away and if the bevel is on the left, that is a left bevel. Opposite for right bevel.

I think if you hold the BH up in front of you the beveled side will be on the left side of the BH for a left bevel.  The opposite for right bevel. I shoot left bevel Abowyer Brown Bears and even though I don't have one in front of me now, I am imagining that is how they look.  Let us know what you see.

I have right bevel if the point is away. Thanks

I'm thinking your bevel should match your fletching for maximum penitration.

I shoot LW and when you hold the point away from you the bevel is on the right

Preston Lay and ranger3, when each of you are holding the broadhead pointing away from you, are the blades horizontal or vertical?

Look at this thread:  http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=130407

Both of these heads are right bevel.

Just looked at my Abowyer Brown Bears and when I hold the BH flat in the palm of my hand point away from me, the bevel is on the left.  These are left bevel BH's.
