Choose Your Starting Point

Broadheads are small, but they should not be chosen casually. Flight from your actual bow, blade deployment, ferrule strength, and broadhead-to-bolt compatibility matter more than the biggest cutting-diameter claim on the package.

Crossbow setup

Use a broadhead that matches your crossbow speed and the manufacturer’s recommended hunting setup.

How to Choose Broadheads

Use these checks before comparing the products below. They help separate useful field upgrades from nice-looking gear that does not fit your hunt.

Match your bow speed

Crossbow-rated broadheads are important for high-speed setups and consistent flight.

Pick for penetration

Blade design, durability, and shot placement matter more than marketing claims.

Test before season

Confirm broadhead flight with your actual bolts before hunting, not the night before.

Broadheads FAQs

Fixed-blade or mechanical broadheads?

Fixed blades can't fail to deploy, which makes them the more forgiving choice on a bone-contact shot. Mechanical heads fly more like field points and open to a larger cutting diameter, trading some certainty for accuracy and blood trail size.

Do I need crossbow-specific broadheads?

If your crossbow shoots over 400 FPS, yes — some mechanical heads aren't rated for those speeds and can fail to open correctly. Check the broadhead's speed rating against your bow.

How much does cutting diameter matter?

Less than shot placement and penetration. A wider cut looks impressive on the package, but a broadhead that doesn't penetrate to the vitals won't produce a clean kill regardless of cutting diameter.
