broadhead restrictions

[griz#1]

does your state have broadhead restrictions ? like no expandables,no heads with removeable blades.

[The Vanilla Gorilla]

We gotta have broadheads at least 7/8th inches wide, and they can't be under 1.5" long.

For bowfishing heads, we can't have more than 2 barb on the head.

Yea they legalized em in Virginia a few years ago too. With some of those crossbows they make nowadays, it takes the whole challenge of hunting with a bow out of bow season. Some of them look more like sniper rifles than crossbows. Oh and I think the only bh regulation in Virginia is they have to be 7/8" wide.

They can not pass through a hole 7/8" in diameter and can not be barbed

[Jason R. Wesbrock]

7/8" minimum diameter in IL and WI.

[Oregon Okie]

no mechanicals in oregon. Similar size restrictions. can't remember if it's 7/8 or 1 inch width.

[Big Ed]

Pa's restictions are no barbed heads and 7/8" cut. Also all cutting surfaces must remain on the same plane throughout the cutting surface.Ed

I believe most states that have a broadhead width standard have gone with 7/8 inch.  I have read that this was the width of the Case Kiska broadhead.  Roy Case was an early pioneer in archery and an avid broadhead mfr and developer.  One of his heads was called the Kiska and that became the standard.

Basically every state is 7/8" min,no barbed heads,no explosive tips,no drugged tips.

VT has no "special" regs that I'm aware of.
