I'm a three blade fan with the bows I have and 600-700 grain arrows.  Two blade has worked when I was shooting lighter weight arrows.  Have some Abowyer heads but have not hunted them.  Should do well with my bows and heavy arrows.

If that didn't get some of us Old guys excited. I hope it happens soon.

There is no "hype" with single bevel broadheads.  Most negative comments come from arm chair experts who have never hunted with them.  Easier to sharpen than most double bevels IMO.  Good penetration.  Good blood trails.  I've killed plenty of critters with both double and single bevel heads.

There is certainly hype surrounding them when guys say they leave as much blood on the ground as other broadheads. I think the size is the important factor that needs to be considered. But to compare them to a snuffer a delta a Simmons and say they leave just as good of blood trails is a complete false narrative.

I've seen with my own 2 eyes deer perfectly hit with single bevels through both lungs 2 holes that did not leave a blood trail other than specs. They bled more from their mouth than the 2 holes.

I hunt thick travel corridors,I need blood on the ground to find the deer I shoot. I'm not an Indian tracker, if i was I'd be comparable to the one in Joe Dirt selling fireworks. Single bevels did not do that for me.

I know some companies are producing single bevel heads that are fairly wide now, but why not just shoot deltas that are half the cost?

Just my 2 cents.

No issue with the bloodtrails i have followed using Abowyer Wapiti single bevels.  Shoot what you want but dont try to tell me the single bevel bloodtrails that i have followed are non-existent!

John, how wide are those wapiti heads?

Obviously, shoot what works for you.

My own father, my biggest hero to this day, shoots single bevels from his compound and I can't say I agree with it.

I've found that large diameter heads achieves better results, and most single bevel are not large diameter. I think the bevel thing is irrelevant and once again overhyped.

I'm sure experiences vary, but I wouldn't consider myself an arm chair expert, or any expert for that matter. Just giving my opinion to help others avoid the woes I've experienced first hand.

The Wapiti broadhead is 1 1/4" inches wide which is better than most single bevel broadheads I've seen. I had a pack of them about 10 years ago and found they were hard steel and took a lot of work to sharpen but once sharp they stayed that way. Since then I've gone back to my standard double bevel Zwickey heads. I do believe the width of a broadhead can really affect blood trails. I've always been partial to a wide 2 blade head. I get better trails than my friends who prefer the smaller 3 blade like woodsman or VPA
