My experience with the single bevel broadheads has been a little different from others…

The affects I can confirm are:

– massive internal bleeding and meat staining similar to a gunshot.

– Quick kills, most animals falling within sight in a few seconds.

What I can’t confirm is better blood trails. Like you, I have followed the blood trail of every deer I shot that fell within sight. In most cases, the blood trail was very light. Lighter than it was with 3 blade broadheads. Which is what you observed.

I have shot maybe 20 deer with single bevel heads over the last 6 years. Of those, 16 or so fell within sight.

And congrats on a nice deer, it looks like it will eat well! Good Job.
