Are you having fixed blade broadhead accuracy issues at longer ranges with Crossbow particularly at 30 and 40 yards.  You too?

I have always liked 4 blade broadheads like the Muzzy MX-3 and 4/Trocar tipped, with my compound bow. However, I discover, crossbows arrows lack mass and rotation needed to keep fixed blades from eventually steering the arrow for longer range shots. Mechanicals aid greatly on crossbows for distance accuracy.

This spring/early summer, I am off on an Alberta, Canada “two” bear hunt over bait.  Experimentation will determine which fixed or mechanical will work best. Distances are short, thus leaning toward fixed like a Muzzy. 

I have chosen to test two mechanical broadheads. One was designed by a NASA engineer to drastically reduce wind planing called the Swhacker SWH00231 125 Grain 2.25″ cut. There are other Swhacker models too. 

The closed Swhacker (left) looks more like a fancy field tip, doesn’t it. No significant surfaces on the left image to plane.

But when it cuts on impact, it also opens in this model to  2.25 inches with its trocar cutting tip leading the way. 

I can purchase practice heads for this model Swhacker too. I desire to shoot these broadheads out to 40 yards accurately. We shall see…

The second broadhead I’m testing is a New Archery Products Killzone 2 Blade Rear-Deploying Mechanical Broadheads with 2″ Cutting Diameter & Spring-Clip Design – 3 Pack

I do not have practice heads for this model so I made one by epoxying the blades shut. I like the razor blade cut-on-contact tip.

More Soon!

Good Hunting!
