Broadhead types.

Every head design here answers the same question - how do you turn arrow momentum into a clean, short blood trail - and each answers it differently. Fixed blades have no moving parts and always cut, but they expose steering surfaces that punish an untuned bow. Mechanicals fly almost like field points, then pay for their wide cuts with energy spent opening. Between them sit hybrids and single-bevels for heavy-arrow bone-splitting, plus the specialists: turkey heads, small-game blunts and crossbow-rated designs. These seven guides suit any bowhunter picking a head for a real setup rather than a marketing sheet. The trade-off that never goes away: more reliability in the cut usually costs some forgiveness in flight, and vice versa.
