Broadhead ?
« on: February 19, 2009, 09:31:00 AM »
I have some screw in bh's that rotate. I found them in a box that had some razorbak's that did the same. What is the purpose for this? Are they good for hunting?....Thanks Roy

I have some old razorbak's like this somewhere.  I think it was to help stabilize the arrow.  Kinda so the broadhead doesn't fight against the rotation of the arrow.

As I recall the advertising on those jobs, if you hit between the ribs they were supposed to rotate their way between them. Always seemed kind of "gimmicky" to me.

NAP (Thunderhead) made one that did that also, if I remember correctly they were a one year hit at the Walmart store.  Their claim was it was to prevent the broadhead from "planeing"?

The moving BH's where meant to keep the energy of the rotating arrow from not stopping. As a BH enters the target/Game the arrow stops turning, with the rotating BH's the BH stops, but the shaft still moves to keep the most of the energy in the shaft to push it's way through.

I used to test BHs for a shop I was affiliated with.  That one holds the distiction of being the only broadhead to pass through the high density ethafoam (12#) and come out with no blades at all.

They all sheared on impact.

Needless to say we didn't sell them.

Thanks folks, I'm not using them. I was just kind of curious. Seems to me they wouldnt tear a big hole if the blades didnt spin with the arrow after contact.

I found a broadhead that looked just like that stuck in a tree when I was scouting about 8 years ago!
