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.

Quote from: Terry Green on November 12, 2025, 10:05:15 PMBuckeye, I have firsthand knowledge that someone is going to be making a snuffer type head very soon.

If that didn't get some of us Old guys excited. I hope it happens soon.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight;nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety;is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

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.
