Iron Will Outfitters Single Bevel Broadhead Review ***Updated 2/24/21***

[Tony Trietch]

Are there any plans for a left bevel broadhead before fall 2021?

Not for 2021.

 

[Tony Trietch]

Very cool.

How was flight noise on these? Trying to build a quiet arrow to hunt with this year. I can imagine the bleeders being a little noisy but love the looks of the “buff” version

No noise, just like the S series.

@Tony Trietch - So what's your take - on non bone hits, is there a significant difference in tissue damage as compared to a double bevel? If you were hunting whitetail at a closer range where a larger profile wouldn't be a disadvantage, how would you think these stack up against an Iron Will wide? Comparable?

@Bill V I just placed my order for the 250. PLEASE TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY!

How long til a glue on version for the woody shooters? 160-165 grain might make a great starting point

That video was very cool.

Every entry and exit hole I saw was rectangular is shape with the SB. Blood was great and nothing ran far. I have had great luck with the V and S series and have zero complaints but I will be using the SB this fall.
As far as short range whitetail, that wide would be awesome.
It's a no lose situation.

Bill is hunting hogs and WT in Texas right now. I spoke with him earlier today and he said he would get on here as soon as he is back to an area with good service to answer all questions.

I’m interested in your opinion on if a SB would be sensitive to vane configurations. Would it be something you’d need to tinker with to fly like a field point.

If I may follow up on this comment with a more specific question - how do the entry/exit holes of the regular solid series compare to the rectangular holes of the SB? And in your opinion, which one would leave the better blood trail?

I have not seen any flight difference with the SB125 over the S125. It has the same general surface space as the S125.

The S and V series heads have left me great blood trails but the holes were not as big or "opened" you might say. They are more of the typical X entry and often slightly larger exit but still not a rectangles as I saw with the SB125.
I will know with more kills using them but it sure makes sense to me that a bigger hole will produce more blood and that rotating head will cause more trauma.

What was the poundage and arrow weight with this test?

 

[Tony Trietch]

@Bunchit Are you asking about the bone penetration video? If you were, that is Bill's and he will need to confirm but I think he said he was in the 535gr range with 70#

I was wondering about you’re setup? But Bill’s works too ..Thanks

The only thing to take in mind with SB is matching vane orientation with bevel. Right bevel with right offset or helical. Mixing left and right will cause conflicting rotations/drags.

Bill just texted me these pics, he shot another whitetail with the SB125. Another square/rectangular hole and what looks like a broken leg bone.

I ordered the single bevel 135 snyder core broadheads! This new 4 mm system will be awesome!!

It seems 90% of bow string manufactures twist their strings clockwise and of course serve their strings clockwise as well which seems to correlate to a natural left spining bare shaft majority of the time. A few manufactures twist counter clockwise and serve the same resulting in a clockwise rotation of a natural bareshaft. That is from my own personal testing and also others. Seems mixing the two results in an arrow that dosen't start to rotate and stabilize til much later out of the bow. A left bevel would be sweet to add to the line up.

Interesting write up, thanks!

I've found the exact same thing with my recurve. I can change arrow rotation based on the "direction" that I twist my string. Counterclockwise string twist = clockwise arrow rotation in flight. Clockwise string twist = counterclockwise arrow rotation in flight.
