Woody,
You said above that
"The single bevel causes a significant reduction in volume of the edge, "

I am not sure that I agree with that. What is the bevel angle you are talking about.

Is not the bevel angle adjustable by manufacturer to be as low or high an angle as desired.

Why cant a single bevel be made at a higher angle for better edge retention strength.

I dont agree with Ed Ashby on his lower edge bevel angles, ( from memory about 15 degress) but personally I like an edge angle of 30 degrees or higher.

Ed's opinions are mainly geared for uber broadheads on very big game, but some of his ideas are good (with a little tweaking) for guys shooting 125 grain models.

I dont really think single or double bevel makes that big a difference on deer sized game, if both styles are razor sharp and both are routinely giving pass throughs, the game is no more or no less dead.

I like them, because they are easier to sharpen, and I believe they also have a slight edge in accuracy ( I think they also spin more in flight ) as in tighter groups.

I hope to save up and get a Hooter Shooter before the end of the year, which will either prove or disprove it.
