Broadheads And Cone Heads

Tip : What's on the sharp end of your arrow is what really counts in bowhunting. <P>Traditional broadheads offer much penetration potential. These come in two-, three- and four-blade models. Fewer blades enhance accuracy but lessen tissue damage. More blades cut more but require stronger bows for penetration. Broadheads must be strong, well vented and absolutely dead straight. Look for multiple blades .020-inch (or more) thick and a total width of 1 1/8 inches or more for quick kills. <P>The "nose-cone" heads with smooth pencil-like points are accurate but "push" rather than cut their way in. The chisel-points are better but neither penetrate as well as point-cutting broadheads. "Cone heads" require strong bows. "Trick" heads with forward angles, fly-open blades or spiral designs require very strong bows for good penetration. <P>All point types must be razor sharp to do their job well. Even the "pre-sharpened" types should be checked and hand-honed if necessary. Remember to ba!
lance head weight with arrow spine for the best accuracy.
