Designed to work with high-speed crossbows, this is a razor cut broadhead that comes in a 100-grain model. The Grim Reaper Crossbow Broadhead is a three-blade broadhead that shoots consistently and flies true. This all-steel broadhead works using friction deploying the blades open as the arrow passes through an animal.

Perfect for game with thin skin, the Grip Reapers will expand violently while its three-bladed design flies straight and opens a large hole that makes the game bleed out quickly. Since these broadheads are lightweight with light construction, they are good for hogs and deer.

Featuring two separate cutting edges, Swhacker Broadheads are made of aircraft aluminum that is anodized. Measuring 0.32-inches, these 100-grain broadheads are honed razor sharp and come with a hardened high carbon steel point. Each set includes three broadheads.

With the first edge set, you get a wing blade that is used to cut hide and the first rib set. Taking most of the punishment, this first edge set will cut through bones, dirt, and hide during entry. The first set of blades is smaller taking less energy when penetrating through the first side than the "open on impact" broadhead. Since these are wing blades, they also give you a load-bearing surface for the ferrule on impact.

With the second set of edges, you have the main blades that don’t touch anything when they make the initial penetration. They retain their edges until they are opened inside the animal. This will allow them to stay sharp when they reach the internal organs.

Very powerful and dependable, the Muzzy Trocar HBX is a hybrid crossbow broadhead that comes in a three-pack. It features two rear-deploying blades that are expandable and can deliver incredible entry wounds.

With the hardened steel Trocar tip, you get incredible penetration, plus the solid ferrule won’t deflect when it strikes bone.

The advantage of a hybrid broadhead is the combination of an expandable and fixed blade.

With only a ¾-inch profile, these broadheads give you field tip precision and hold true while in flight.

On impact, these mechanical blades give you a big wound channel. And, as the blades hit bone, then they will close up so they can re-open when they have passed through the obstruction and allow the fixed blades to perform the hard work.
