I’m on the fence regarding single bevels or small cutting heads WITH high energy (heavy draw weight) bows.
So this season I’m testing out Grim Reaper Whitetail Special 2” Mechanicals, Iron Will S100 and Magnus Black Hornet Ser Razors. Behind a 28.5” DL and 74# bow with a ~650 grain arrow.
This buck did the old tuck and roll at 22 yards, I ended up hitting him high and back. But the Grim Reaper WTS broke his spine and half way passed through the other side. The shot sheared his aortic artery, so it was a lethal shot, but not close to where I was aiming.
I’ve got 1 kill with the S100’s and 1 kill with the Grim Reapers so far. Both produced quick kills and pass through (2 holes) with my setup, even breaking a spine.
I will say though, you need A LOT of energy to be successful (2 holes) with large mechanicals. On soft tissue they’ll rip through a deer but catch a rib or spine in my case and you lose most of your energy.
