BROADHEAD WITH IMPROVED FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS AND PIVOTABLE BLADES

摘要

A broadhead (1) has cutout regions (28) at therear of cutting blades (14 and 16) to reduce adversewind effects on the flight of an arrow. The cuttingblades (14 and 16) are held in a barbedconfiguration by frictionally secured rings (20).The cutting blades (14 and 16) pivot to a nonbarbedconfiguration upon withdrawal from an animal withthe rings (20) moving towards tip (2). A threadablyconnectable arrow shaft protector (8) reduces thecosts of manufacturing.
