Low poundage bow with single bevel?

[TheWarriorYeti]

The resistance force a broadhead meets in penetrating is first and foremost about sharpness. So edge sharpness and retention are your priorities, followed by other considerations, broadhead size, shape, blade number, etc. Think about the added force against the bevels in soft tissues, it causes rotation over a distance, creating a "spiral cut," but that spiral is actually fairly long and gradual. With db the resistance force acting on the bevels is still there! Only it doesn't induce rotation. I've shot deer with a light trad bow and single bevels, the arrows will pass right through the thorax and deer will run 40 yards, same as db. As others have said shot placement is still crucial and the difference is probably minimal. But the single bevel argument is primarily about ability to torque and split heavy bone in big game, increasing penetration. It MIGHT make a difference on a light bow and smallish game if you hit the scapula, which seems to be the biggest barrier for bow deer hunters trying to ensure the arrow hits in front of the diaphragm. There are studies suggesting that. The other claims about spiraling wounds seem less well-tested, and none of it is truly tested in a strict scientific sense.

Thanks for all of your info guys! Sounds like as long as I do my part it should be a non issue.
