Hey everyone,
If someone is going to choose a two blade Broadhead, is there any reason not to go single bevel? I see so much advantage of a single bevel and a double just seems outmatched.

What would be the advantages or disadvantages of each when using a single bevel vs a 3 blade head for whitetail?

Lastly, what would be your recommendations for a single/double bevel head?
Thanks

Single bevels are notorious for being difficult to pull from targets and doing excessive target damage. Some models are difficult to sharpen.

In my opinion there's nothing wrong with single or double. However, a single bevel needs higher quality steel. All things equal (steel) - a double bevel can be sharpened to a more acute bevel and have more edge stability. I.E. cutting ability

For the average shooter I don't see a "need" to shoot a small cut 2 blade. If you're shooting a new compound, average draw and 65+# then penetration with a fixed head shouldn't be an issue. A well designed sharp fixed 3/4 blade head will do anything you need it to and give some more forgiveness on a shot a little off course back.

They are a pain in the ass to pull from targets (single bevel) and with modern equipment, I doubt there is any measurable improvement on splitting bone. I have shot both a good amount I believe I’ve killed 6 roosies with single bevels, and just don’t see the benefits, but I hate pulling them out of targets, it’s seriously a pain.

I gave them a very fair chance, I’ve seen a good handful of other elk shot with single bevels and I have become tired of them. I quit shooting my favorite head because I was sick of it being a single bevel 😂

i would love to see kudu point build a double bevel head, with a tanto tip, and that’s all I would shoot, the 1.4” 150gr with bleeders, for everything

I think the only real advantages to the single bevel heads is that generally they are made from better steel, and they do split bone better than double bevel.

if that is true at low energies it is certainly still true at higher energies.

You’re all good!

I personally will stick with my doubles.
In theory a single should split bone better however I think people fail to take into account just how much energy it takes to do so.
