I was amazed at the PENATRATION I got with a right bevel zwickey no mercy on this doe the arrow passed completely through the deer and lodged in a oak sapling .. I am using a tradtech Titan 3 with 45# limbs arrows are 340 gold tip with a f.o.c.of 19% will also post pic of arrow in the sapling......

Arrow after passing through the deer

Nice shot for sure!

I'll never not shoot a single bevel after seeing the damage done to the 5 deer I've shot with 150 grain grizzlies. 4 out of 5 complete pass through, one other broadhead cut through but back half of arrow broke off, broadhead end just fell out when he ran.

Very cool! I plan on playing around with single bevels next year.

Monkeyball, My thoughts exactly. Makes the penetration more impressive.

Good deal....yeah single bevels do a great job! Congrats on the doe!

I thought I was the only one shooting an arrow that was considered stiff for the #

I'm guessing those arrows are out of the box length. I shoot 400's at that same draw weight, but 30" arrows with 290 total up front.

I shoot full length shafts and 200 grain heads and have a 30" draw ...my arrows baeshaft perfectly with this setup... I Also shoot 3" four flerch sheild cut feathers out of that setup ...

Good job. Congrats!

Prefect placement helps too! Good shot

Very nice, congrats!

That is crazy

Nice shot! Thanks for the pictures.

What makes you think that a double-bevel would have performed any differently?

I ran the arrow specs through the spine calculator (to the best of my ability!) and it looks like just about any good recurve will throw that 500 grain arrow (give or take a few grains) at about 185 fps (estimated!)... so if the arrow is flying properly, it should have had plenty on it to pass through what looks to be a fairly young doe.... Or probably even a good-sized Elk...

Certainly a good shot, which always helps.

Curious how you've tuned your rig, though... Near as I can tell you should be about #17 over-spined according to the calculator, and there are those here who say that the calculator always recommends much too stiff an arrow (in carbons, at least).

Not saying you aren't tuned - just wondering how you're making it work as well as you say it does.

And BTW - looks like you know how to sharpen those pretty well....

Awesome! Congrats!

Impressive.

Not only did you get the deer, but you waited on the shot to have a sapling behind the arrow impact area. Makes it very easy to find the arrow. Very clever planning and execution. Always thinking one step ahead.

You must be an advanced billiards player. They are always thinking where to leave the cue ball after the last shot, to set up the next one. :-)

Congrats.

Congrats!

You guys all assume he is drawing 28 I can shoot that arrow at 45@31 and it looks like he can shoot it at his draw to as the picture of a dead deer shows.

I started shooting Grizzly single bevels a couple years ago. Easy to sharpen, field point flight, stick-it-in-the-ground penetration.

My only knock on em is a possible slight blood trail...at least from my experience.

Doesn't meen I'm not gonna hunt with em...3 are in my bow quiver now.

I have been shooting Grizzlies for 30 years. Neve broke one. If you hit bone and don't have one ,you will wish you did. TLM

Good shooting. I'm partial to single bevel heads myself. I see no disadvantage compared to double bevel heads. As far as a blood trail is concerned....most of it depends on sharpness and the amount of veins and capillaries that are severed.

OOOPs didn't mean to sound like I was disparaging a Zwicky! Only single bevels available to me when I started using them were the Grizzly. Zwicky is a standard, Hope they make them at 160 grains someday. TLM
