Low poundage bow with single bevel?

[WVltd90]

Does anyone have any experience with a recurve in the 40-45lb range shooting a single bevel? If so, on what kind of game?

I am worried with a lower poundage setup that the spiraling wound channel effect will cut down on penetration, but figure someone else has actually had first hand experience and can give me a little insight.

Thanks in advance to anyone who has any info.

Check out the Ashby Foundation website. They have tested a lot with single bevels and 40 lb traditional bows for penetration. Wealth of information.

It will make little difference, but a single bevel does rob some of the momentum to rotate the cut. I'd just go double bevel. Straight line is perfect. But it not like single bevels spin thru like a dang drill bit, its just a partial rotation. Often the tips are not as sharp on SB, I think that makes a bigger difference.
