A broadhead is a type of arrowhead designed for hunting. It features sharp blades that can be fixed or expandable, allowing for a larger wound channel when it strikes an animal. Broadheads are typically made from durable materials like steel or aluminum to ensure they can penetrate tough hides and bones. Broadheads are commonly used with compound bows and traditional archery equipment. They come in various designs and weights, catering to different hunting needs and preferences. Proper selection and tuning of a broadhead can significantly impact the effectiveness of an archery setup, making it an essential component for hunters.
