Exit wound.. picture of the lungs on the entry. That bevel wound does not close up. S shape. Air goes out fast. I think they are dead before they fall down which should be less than 50 yards.

We've been working hard the past few weeks to come up with some big changes to our vendor policies to meet the changing needs of our community. Please see the new vendor rules here: Vendor Access Area Rules
Single Bevel and Blood Trails

If you're doing this midseason I'd recommend keeping your current arrows, buy 100g single bevels of your choice, make sure they're sharp and they fly true. Another point to iron will, their small profile really makes them easy to work with and keep similar impacts as field points. Post season do a new arrow build and bump your weight if that's what you're going for. Any change you make to your setup is deserving of you sighting in your bow.
With 300 spine arrow already buy a test pack of field points and shoot what u got....125 won't change anything but longer distance pins more than likely and 150 may fly good with current arrows...test pack is cheaper than buying broadheads to test with
I am impressed with the quality and durability of the Sirus Super Nova 2.0 shafts. My deer did 2 complete rolls over the arrow and it was still straight and tru with out any indication of damage. I just buy the shafts and make my own however they do sell them complete.
For reference, I'm getting great flight outta 300 spine. 28.5 with 75 gr insert and a 125 head. Only 62-63 pounds though
I'm shooting helix right now. The massais have a great reputation though.
- I have 125 montecs too, no need to change anything if I want to switch.
Ive never used them, but I think a ton has to do with your setup. If I shot low poundage or a slow bow or big heavy game I'd definitely be using single bevel. Deer are fragile game.
With my 70lb bowtech insanity I get passthroughs nearly everytime with huge mechanicals and 3 blades. And with my crossbow bh selection is use whatever you want at any angle you want and still gunna blow right through.
2+ in mechanicals have saved me more than once for poor shot placement. I'm only human after all.

If you get a 100-150gr single bevel. Shouldn't effect to much. If you want to build a little more FOC next year, an outsert would get you more later if you need it.
Victory VAP 250 @610gr with a 200gr Masai single bevel out of my 70lb Bowtech Reign6. BAM!!!
I'm no expert and will preface this with the fact that I recently "snorted the Ranch Fairy dust", but I would start by getting a Ranch Fairy test kit from Sirius Archery or Ethics Archery and shoot some different spines/point weights to see which provided the best arrow flight. If you don't want to shoot a different spine - you can buy just the Ranch Fairy field point test kit (it has multiple weight points) and see which fly the best with your current setup. If you search YouTube for "Ranch Fairy FOC Build" you'll have more information than you ever cared for. I'm warning you from my recent experience....it's a slippery costly slope!!! LOL
Lol. Agreed it can be, but it doesn't HAVE to be. Especially in season I'd try different field points on your current arrows, as has been suggested, And see what you think. 125 gr are easy to come by and I've even got 150 gr in store ( cabelas I think).
This is a good time to employ the Ole k.i.s.s. rule, minor changes are fine but save the big stuff for out of season.
- there are 100gr options in single bevel too. Iron will, kudu ( helix too but it's pretty much a kudu)
How about these???

If you change your point weight, do yourself a favor and check your tune.
If you change broadhead profiles, do yourself a favor and check your tune.
Once you verify that your tune is still good, then worry about your sight pins.

I’m not against SB heads. They work fine but they are not the end all. Rage to the shoulder worked too.
