single bevel

[MnFn]

When looking at a laying a single bevel (left bevel) broadhead  on the table, on which side should you see the bevel? I am assuming left side?

I think I received the wrong ones.
For those who use them does the side the bevel is on matter?

bevel should match the wing of your feathers.

Correct it will be on the left side of the head if laying on a table with the point away from you. These are right bevel heads.

I've been shooting left bevel heads on rw arrows and they're flying like lazers with good penetration. I'll probably get some lws finished up this week coming up and check to see if there's a great difference.

Gary, Did I send you the wrong bevel heads?

Izzy,  For years friends and I have used the old Grizzly 160 grain right wing single bevel that Harry Elburg made on left wing fletch. We seemed to have killed quite a few animals without any issues.  One bull elk I recall shooting with an Elburg Condor 66# and a 160 had complete penetration while carving a bit of lung out on the ground.  The arrow passed through another 15 or more feet beyond the elk and buried in the ground.

When the Elburg version first came out i had a right wing fletcher and we killed a number of deer with them. Then i got tired of nicking my finger with the right wing feather and got a a left hand fletcher and we killed a number of deer using them the wrong way, not any noticeable difference. Then one day i thought it would be nice if the arrow and the head agreed with each other, I was thinking about arrow flight, not how deadly the head would be so we made a bunch of Hill left wings from blanks. They flew beautifully and we seemed to be getting more blood on the ground. But then my wife shot a wrong way old arrow diagonally through a deer with a 38 at 26" recurve and 430 grain arrow, from rear hip all the way to the front far side shoulder and buried the head in the far side scapula. No exit wound and still plenty of blood on the ground which proved that perhaps the difference was still not that big of a deal.
