I know some of you guys use single bevel points. I've been making some up and they are way easier so far but I've reached what I think is a dilemma. After beveling one each edge the point seems way too wide for good penetration. I may be wrong but as I have never used them I am still hesitant too since I don't really know how they will work. Maybe one of you guys that use them could post a picture or drawing so I can see what they are supposed to look like.
Thanks

Besides the obvious point of energy (momentum), penetration is according to Ashby related to friction, arrow dynamics (foc weight and balance), and speed of the impact probably as well. A field point will penetrate all the way through a deer, so part of the equation is going to be momentum, maybe in a bigger way than necessary in the case of field point versus a cut on contact broadhead. As an aside, is a chisel point still a cut on contact broadhead? My personal impression is that it is a "pokey" point...
that slices from the tip throughout the course of the blade.
With a blade such as you are contemplating, Ashby touts its bone splitting benefits as one of the major components of it's desireability, and in that regard, I'd stick with the chisel point just because.
Just for further clarification, if you have a left blade beveled (looking down the blade from the rear, is it your understanding or knowledge that the blade will rotate to the left or the right upon entry?
Much Aloha... :cool:
