Bow Hunting | Broadhead Choices

Bow Hunting | Everything You Need to Know About Broadheads

Take one stroll down the aisle of nearly any sporting goods store and you’ll be amazed. Rack after rack of broadheads, all coming in numerous different styles, sizes, and even colors. On each box, there are all sorts of experts touting the benefits of that specific broadhead, and why it’s a game changer. With all these seemingly legitimate choices, how is a hunter to decide on the single best broadhead for their specific hunting scenario? Is there even an ideal broadhead out there for you, or do you simply exchange one thing for another?
Broadheads come in two primary styles that you’re probably familiar with, with seemingly endless adaptations of both styles. These two styles include fixed and mechanical designs. Let’s look at both styles below, which will let you make an informed decision on which is the best type for your situation. Then you can get to work on the really fun part of the process: bow hunting!

Fixed Broadheads

As you probably know, fixed designs have blades that are attached directly to the base of the broadhead, meaning they will not move upon impact. They are either solid-welded or come with replaceable blades that can be screwed onto the broadhead for a solid fit.
