recommended single bevel broad head anyone?

Crested Finger · November 06, 2015, 03:43:00 AM

Well guys, I finally got my carbons and I have decided I want to try single bevels out this fall. Screw ins would be preferred but it seems most single bevels are glue on. Either way I am looking to get around 200 grains up front with BH and inserts combined. As always I am looking for the best I can get for the least amount of money so the super high end stuff is probably out of my reach.

What do you guys think?

zwickey no mercy with screw ins is 165. In the grand scheme of things 35 grains is not much and easily added with weights or a washer.

I haven't played with the no mercys yet but do have some signed before they first came out. Over the years I've noticed I've had issues with some of the adapters in zwickeys getting them true. I can't say the NM fall in that boat or not but I wouldn't look past them. I have yet to hunt with something other than an eskimo!

Grizzly broadheads come in a variety of weights. You should be able to get 200gr with the right combination of adapters and broadheads. They cost about half of what some of the high end heads go for. Just be prepared to sharpen them.

Abowyer Brown Bear Toughest head I have ever used, is a sponsor here, makes a heck of a blood trail.

I'm no expert at putting a good edge on a real rough BH but I seem to be able to keep one honed up. (anyone have some tips?) that being said a sharp out of the box BH is something I would be willing to pay a little extra for.

I have a buddy who hunts with woodies. He pulls about 40# with 5/16 shafts and he uses 125 grain eskimos. He has killed more deer with that set up than I have with a gun. He is who got me into trad hunting. What kind of setup do you use?

Abowyer makes a Screw on 250g Brown Bear in Carbon or Stainless. Excellent, top notch broadhead.

I've killed deer with cutthroats and helix broadheads. Both worked great. But if I were to choose one, the cutthroats are the easiest broadhead to sharpen that I've used. And they're bomb proof. I'd recomend you give them a try.

I tried the Badger broadheads this year. They shoot GREAT out of all my bows. Very tough heads as well.

Paul Cousineau · November 06, 2015, 06:34:00 AM

RMSG cutthroats! I haven't killed with one yet but they the best imo. They are a one piece screw in at 200 grains. I always hated gluing inserts into grizzlies. Fairly easy to sharpen too.

I have only used the Grizzly Kodiaks and they mounted easily (glue on), balance spun perfect, sharpened easy enough, held their edge and went through the shoulder and ribs of a large bear this year. Great blood trail but did not do an autopsy on carcass to see lungs, heart, etc and damage caused. You wont be disappointed.

Charlie3 · November 06, 2015, 07:25:00 AM

Big Jim's will glue inserts into a Grizzly free of charge. Just find a weight/adapter combination that suits you. Mine are 185 grain heads with 75 grain steel adapter (I highly recommend using steel over aluminum).

The cutthroat comes as a screw in, but you're gonna pay double.

TradBrewSC · November 06, 2015, 07:27:00 AM

I love Abowyer Boneheads and Brown Bears with their titanium inserts. excellent heads.

My hunting buddy uses the cutthroats and they too are a great head.

cant go wrong with either.

Bill Carlsen · November 06, 2015, 07:32:00 AM

I'm a 3 blade guy But a friend just killed a black bear with a 200 grain Cutthroat and he was so impressed he gave me one to try. I modified an old Razor Edge jig and got that head extremely sharp in a short time. My next deer may fall to it as it is in my quiver with my 200 grain Razorcaps,

Tuff Heads are the best single bevel heads available, IMHO.

Mike Yancey · November 06, 2015, 08:56:00 AM

I took this elk with a Abowyer Brown Bear head this year and had good results. Pass through at 43 yards and still shaving sharp. My buddy on the hunt was using the Tuff Heads and they look great and are made well. I like the Abowyer because of the steel seems to take and keep a shaving sharp edge. But in all honesty I could have killed that elk with any head, its all where you put em.

For the quality, quantity and price its hard to beat a Grizzly broadhead.

There is no broadhead sharper out of the box than a German Kinetic, but it is not a single bevel head!
