Check out Ethics Archery. They have field points for the Ranch Fairy Test kit on exactly what you are looking for. The test kit goes from 100-200 grain at increments of 25.Is there any charts that illustrate the difference in arrow flight between different weight broadheads?
I'm shooting 100 grain but would like to experiment with 125,150,200. Single bevel is appealing and any recommendations are appreciated, thanks everyone.
I prefer the 3:1 style also for all the mechanical benefits but mainly because they are the easiest to sharpenI've been using single bevels for over 10 years now and I really like them.
I started out with Eclipse singles and they are okay but there is one thing that I disliked. They are basically a single bevel version of the old Magnus style heads, meaning the tip is a 3 ply design.That leading inch or so cannot really be sharpened as a single bevel. The tip portion can be sharpened like a double bev, but not sharpened as a true single.
I switched to Samurai single bevel heads and I like them a lot better. I used the 150 grain for the last few years and I like them but this season I'm building an UEFOC arrow so I'm switching to Samurai 200 grain singles. They are ~3:1 design with straight edges as opposed to the convex edges like the Maasai heads. Straight edge give a better mechanical advantage than a curved blade. "Mechanical advantage" does not refer to a mechanical style Broadhead. It refers to the amount of force that is needed to penetrate. Straight, 3:1 edges need less force to penetrate.
Check out the Ashby reports on the Ashby Bowhunting Foundation site. Dr Ed Ashby has dedicated the last 30+ years to arrow lethality studies and he is a strong proponent of single bevel heads. https://www.ashbybowhunting.org

I like the look of those monarchs. Wish those were still available. GrizzlyStik forged heads look tough as nails. I too chose the 200 grain samurais for ease of sharpening.I love 200grain single bevel broadheads but will use a 200grain Silverflame as well cause its nasty..i really like the massai ( i want some of the alaskan version thats a solid one piece head like the monarch without the.vents but don't have any yet) , the monarch , samurai , or any 200 grain tanto tipped simgle bevel on sale from grizzly stik.
Ill usually hit up some special they have going like fathers day sale ect.. And get a few different ones to experiment with...i as well am using an e.f.o.c set up & playing with u.e.f.o.c builds ,but once your set up is tuned you can shoot any heavy head and it will fly beautifull unaffected much from a stiff wind .View attachment 30791View attachment 30792
Did you paper tune that thing?In anticipation of my buddy taking me to go chase hogs with his dogs.......U boys need to step up....26,600 grainsView attachment 30814View attachment 30815View attachment 30816
