Fixed Blade Broadheads

Why Choose a Fixed Blade Broadhead?

A fixed blade broadhead has its blades locked in the cutting position from launch to impact. Because there's no deployment mechanism, it can't fail to open, keeps more energy for penetration, and holds up better against bone. That makes fixed blades a common choice for elk, for hunters with lower draw weights, and for anyone who wants the simplest, most reliable head.

Types of Fixed Blade Broadheads

• One-piece heads like the G5 Montec, Montec M3, and Muzzy One are machined from a single piece of steel. They're very strong and can be resharpened.
  
• Replaceable-blade heads like the Muzzy 3-Blade and Trocar, QAD Exodus, Slick Trick Magnum, and G5 Striker let you swap in fresh blades after practice or a hunt.
  
• 2-blade heads like the Magnus Stinger leave long, clean cuts and penetrate very well. 3- and 4-blade heads cut more tissue for heavier blood trails.
  
• Single-bevel heads like the Magnus Single Bevel are sharpened on one side of each edge, so they rotate on impact. Many elk and heavy-game hunters choose them for that reason.
  
• Hybrid heads like the Muzzy Trocar HB and HBX combine fixed main blades with expandable bleeder blades.
  
• Crossbow fixed blades like the G5 Striker V2 Crossbow and Slick Trick Xbow Trick are built for crossbow speeds.
  

Getting Fixed Blades to Fly Well

Fixed blades expose more blade surface in flight, so they show tuning problems more than field points or mechanicals do. Use correctly spined arrows, spin-test each head for wobble, and paper-tune or bare-shaft tune your bow. Then confirm that your broadheads and field points hit the same spot. Compact heads like the Slick Trick and QAD Exodus are often the easiest to get flying well.
