Seen it go both ways? Lol, just seems to be what gets cut and all that jazz. I used to use the older 160s.

Course with any head I have seen meager trails and then trails a blind man could follow.

I'm using the same heads this year and anxious to see what the results will be like. Hopefully I get a chance to find out!

Same here.
Sometimes no blood, sometimes a lot of blood.
You'll get two holes. Thats for sure.

My experience also.

Depends on how high or low the exit is no matter the broadhead in my opinion. RC

My friend Michael Arnette showed me some pictures of some of his grizzly blood trails and they were very impressive

The single bevel broadheads do a great job, but then so does any other sharp broadhead.
When asking about blood trails with a broadhead, there are so many things to factor in that there honestly can't be a "generic" answer. Shot placement, state of the animal, all play a role in what kind of blood trail is left for us to follow.
With all that said, one big advantage of the single bevel heads is their ability to go through bone. On a deer last year, I had a Grizzly enter in a shoulder blade and exit through the lower end of the other one.
Thanks,

I use single bevel Tuffheads, I have killed a mule deer and several whitetails with them. The hole stays open, and there is always an in and an out....making for great blood trails. They have always been short, however.

I've shot three animals with single bevel heads, two don't really count, a grouse that took one step and collapsed, a rabbit that was stuck where it was by the arrow and third, a deer that fell in sight and I didn't look for blood.

I shot last year's bear with a SB Cutthroat. Could have jogged the blood trail. Like others here, I appreciate the pass throughs consistent with single bevels.

huskyarcher · August 18, 2016, 08:49:00 AM

I shot single beveled two blades last year, my experience was that I found dead them very polarizing. Either I had a bloody massacre for a trail, or not much of one at all. (All the shots I'm talking about would be considered very good shots.) For this reason I've switched to 3blade Woodsmans. All I've killed with them so far is pigs and turkeys, but I have been nothing short of very pleased with the blood trails. Single bevels are great heads though, don't get me wrong. They will shoot through just a about anything. Just my .02. My wife tells me that my .02 isn't worth much however lol.

A cut is a cut. Depends on what is cut, not what made it.

Jack Skinner · August 18, 2016, 10:07:00 AM

What J-dog, MEsquiel, Tim Roberts, Micheal Arnette, and old_goat2 said.

Also I have not needed a blood trail on the last three animals I have shot they fell in site.

JimB · August 18, 2016, 11:16:00 AM

I haven't killed enough with them to make a judgement.One antelope ran full tilt and was down in 40 yds,no blood on the ground but cavity full.One was liver shot,took a couple bounds,walked a little,laid down and went to sleep,35 yds total.Only blood in the bed and body cavity.The would channel was 2" wide but entrance and exit were more the size of the broadhead.There was a black bear had one lung and liver hit,went 75 yds,let out a death moan and it had a moderate blood trail on the latter half.

Pete McMiller · August 18, 2016, 11:33:00 AM

Similar experiences here. 2 moose, bull elk, deer and a javelina all died in sight. Had to track a hog and another javelina a short distance.

We all know the 'secret' to a good blood trail. A hit in the lower 1/4 to 1/3 of the body cavity with an entrance and and exit that cut through vital organs. Single, double or triple blades make little difference if put in the correct spot.

When things go wrong I want a head I can count on and my Kodiaks can be trusted. Last fall I made a marginal hit on a bull elk - hit it in the ulna bone about 3-4 inches from the knuckle. Many heads wouldn't have survived that bone by mine not only survived but took a divot out of the bone and proceeded to continue on into the heart.

I shoot single bevel Grizzly Kodiaks because they are a darn tough broadhead with a proven track record AND they fly great.

Ridiculously good if they are real sharp

amicus · August 18, 2016, 05:46:00 PM

I have had great blood trails and not so great blood trails. I always say that no broadhead will guarantee a good blood trail. But this is the main reason why I shoot single bevel Grizzly Kodiaks.
