[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 181593, member: 704"] Ya, passing fad is the wrong description. They have been around for many years. They just never become real popular with anyone but the traditionalists. If the traditionalists switch to single bevel in a few years the companies will have some reason the double bevel is better. So then they will jack up the price and advertise a lot. What ever we have it will be the wrong thing. I can't believe the price Three Rivers wants for some of those heads. I would think it would be very simple to turn any of the Zwickey into single bevel. Howard Hill broad heads are single bevel? I don't think the originals that he shot were single bevel. I talked with a number of archers including Fred Bear when the (I think it was Pope and Young) met in Bismarck about 40 years ago. Whatever it was Fred Bear had his full mount grizzly on display. Back when we still used film and wow was my brother pissed when his film didn't advance and I took pictures of him with Fred Bear. Anyway there was a lot of archery equipment on display and I don't remember any single bevel heads. I don't remember the brand, but I did see one back in 1960. I also remember people knocking the single bevel for having no shoulder and not standing up. I think it's like six of one and half a dozen of the other. Nothing magic. I doubt there are very few times you will see it twist in an animal like they say. In their imagination. If it did slightly would that do any good? Would it turn to hit an artery, or would it turn and miss an artery? 50/50 thing. Kind of like those pretty fish hooks made to catch fishermen. Edit: If it does turn in the animal it will retard penetration just like a strong helical will slow an arrow. There is required energy in that movement. [/QUOTE]
