The steering effect of the broadheads causes the arrows to be delivered differently than arrows with field points. The orientation of the blades with respect to how the arrow is being delivered determines how much air the blades will catch.
Are single bevel broadheads better?
“We have proven through high-speed testing that if you want maximum penetration, double-bevel heads provide a slight advantage,” Vanderheyden said. “If you want the potential for opening up holes better and more tissue damage due to rotation, choose a single bevel. Either way, choose a broadhead with a bleeder blade.”
Should you practice with broadheads?
Many bowhunters don’t want to sacrifice a real broadhead when practicing because they are so expensive, but practicing with a real broadhead is a must to ensure an arrow is flying true.

I do this by first shooting an arrow with a broadhead then shooting one with a field point.

Shoot them again and repeat adjustments if necessary.
