The Killzone Crossbow broadhead is a 2 blade rear-deploying mechanical broadhead that provides a devastating 2"" cutting diameter and is designed to be shot from today's fastest and most powerful crossbows.

A broadhead is a large cutting point assembly, attached to an arrow shaft for hunting. The proliferation of archery broadhead designs and blade configurations are diverse, making the decision on which one to use under a given set of hunting factors confusing, but it doesn't have to be so.

The broadhead has been very accurate, its POI has been nearly identical to the field points, if not indistinguishable from the field tips. We're shooting the "stock" barnett bolts that came with the Recruit and the Barnett Head Hunters (both 20") with the Killzones.

Post-Testing Thoughts On The NAP Killzone One of the drawbacks has always been its penetration. It's just never been a very good penetrating head, not just because it has got a big 2-inch wide cut, but it even penetrates less than most mechanicals that are rear-deploying with a 2-inch cut.

The Slick Trick Advantage SlickTrick truly is the deadliest broadhead.

More weight means the more forward an arrow's center of balance is and the higher its FOC will be. This affects flight and penetration, the first of which is especially important on long-range shots or on shots with a low poundage bow.

Just about every company that makes mechanical broadheads will make both a “compound” version, as well as a “crossbow” version. The reason they do this is because of the newer and faster shooting crossbows. And the main difference between the crossbow and compound mechanical heads, is the blade retention strength.

Behind the head let's take a closer look at that. What you see in this photo is the difference between a vertical bow broadhead. And a crossbow broadhead. If you look at the photo.

There are three basic types of broadheads: fixed blades, removable blades, and mechanical (expandable) blades. All broadheads, regardless of type, must be sharp, durable, and matched to your equipment and the size of game being hunted.

Broadheads kill by cutting blood vessels, unlike the high energy shock of bullets. Hemorrhage is typically the result. A responsible bowhunter will use razor-sharp broadheads and only take shots that allow a clear, close shot to the vital area of the game animal. Many archers' injuries come from broadheads.

Well designed vented blades solve some of those issues. Also, cutting diameter and blade length will alter flight characteristics. A good general rule of thumb is a smaller vented fixed blade broadhead will have better flight characteristics over bigger broadheads with solid blade designs.

In general, the best nap length for adults is about 20 minutes and no longer than 30 minutes. Sleeping for 20 minutes allows the napper to get a bit of light sleep to boost alertness without entering into deep sleep. Waking up from deep sleep can cause grogginess and actually worsen sleepiness.

Simply put, 100-grain broadheads are not the best choice for most bowhunters. Heads weighing 125 grains or slightly more are superior in almost every way to 100-grain broadheads for hunting, and I'll tell you why.
