What do Yall think?????? I know Chris (Landshark160) has taken some animals with one of these so maybe he'll chime in.. I'm not completely sold on single bevels mainly because I prefer 3 or 4 blades but this thing looks cool......

Don, I killed 3 deer and a hog with those this past season, but I never did hit a shoulder blade.  That is about the only thing I worry about not shooting through to begin with.  What I did seem to notice, and it could be imagining it, was I seemed to be getting less penetration than normal on soft tissue hits.  The first deer was broadside at 10 yards.  I normally stick it in the dirt on the other side on those shots, but the arrow only penetrated up to the fletching.  That kinda had me concerned.  I usually get pass throughs on 75% of my shots, but I failed to get a pass through on any of the 4 critters I shot with the single bevel.  Not saying it doesn't work, I just don't think it works well with this blade profile.  I've since gone back to the double bevel version.

If you haven't read it, Dr. Ashby has a good write up about it in his last report.  I believe it starts around page 22.
