Next, we tested all of the broadheads below for accuracy on the range using compound bows. A few popped it almost upon contact, and that’s ideal. A couple mostly rolled the band around, and those are too dull. Most blades required a little pressure to pop the rubber band, which is acceptable. We did a quick blade-sharpness evaluation by first checking the edges with our thumbs, and then stretching 2-inch rubber bands to 3 inches, between a thumb and index finger, screwing the broadhead into an arrow, touching it against the taught rubber band, and seeing how much effort was required to sever it. Once we received a submission, we weighed each head from a package individually to gauge consistency. Long-time bow-test panel member Danny Hinton and I tested two new mechanical and five new fixed-blade broadheads for compound bow hunters. Read Next: Best Compound Bows How We Tested New Compound-Bow Broadheads I’d take any of the broadheads below deer hunting, and that’s good news for you. Some did fare better than others, though, and some did so at a lower cost, too. There were no dramatic failures of any sort. This year’s compound broadhead test was actually kind of boring, if you’re the type who is entertained by seeing stuff torn up and destroyed. Flight got pretty erratic at 400-plus feet per second. I tested it as a compound head (where it did very well), but I also shot it from a high-speed crossbow, just to see. This year’s Thunderhead 125, for example, is a big fixed-blade that’s advertised as being suitable for crossbows or compounds. Slower arrow speeds, like you get from a vertical bow, generally mean you can use a larger, more aggressive broadhead and still get true arrow flight, especially inside 40 yards. The difference in some crossbow and compound broadheads is only found in the packaging, but others have true distinctions beyond window dressing. F.A.T.Last week we revealed the results of the crossbow portion of our annual broadhead test.High energy shock collar - holds blades firmly before impact, ensures proper deployment.2 Slipcam 0.035" stainless steel blades - rear-deploying, razor sharp.Compact design topped with a strong, smooth penetrating hybrid tip.Feature-packed, high performance, expandable crossbow broadhead.Shock collar design ensures correct blade retention and deployment, even on crossbows producing arrow speeds greater than 400 fps.
Designed to match the dimensions of standard crossbow arrow inserts, the Hypodermic is built to deliver optimal aerodynamics, velocity, and downrange energy on every shot. Held firmly in place before impact by high energy shock collars, these deadly blades expand upon entry to deliver a wound more than 2" wide for easy-to-follow blood trails. Topped with a smooth penetrating Hypodermic hybrid tip, this broadhead's steel ferrule houses 2 Slipcam® rear-deploying, razor sharp, 0.035" stainless steel blades. A compact, expandable broadhead design made with Ferrule Alignment Technology (F.A.T.) for optimized flight performance, the Hypodermic gives bowhunters surgical precision through the entire shot. Designed to fly straight and cut deep, the Hypodermic® Crossbow Broadhead from Rage® comes packed with features to help bowhunters put big game on the ground fast and easy.
