You're right.  I'll have to reserve these for rabbits and pheasants.

Silence over speed.  Heavier arrows never hurt.

Very good work and food for thought. Did you test your home made single bevel head or any single beveled heads?

Question:  Would creating a second angle on the points of 3 blade heads-Wensels, VPA, Snuffer, etc-keep the tips from curling?  Altering the tips to look like Magnus photo to prevent the ending up like the Razorcap photo.

I have reshaped the points of my practice Snuffers after they found a rock or piece of metal, but never hunted with them.
