In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
There’s no way to put a value on having the best mechanical broadheads when hunting. To make sure you get as accurate and devastating a shot as you can, using top rated mechanical broadheads is the only way to go. We researched some of the best-known brands and top sellers and put together this review to help you determine which ones are really the best. Before we get started, let’s look at some of the essential features you need to know about.
Grain: The grain of the broadhead contributes to the velocity of the arrow as a whole. Higher grains tend to deliver more momentum, which means deeper penetration. Of course, what you’re hunting affects what grain you need, too.
Cut Diameter: This is the size of the wound tunnel that the broadhead makes once it’s inside. The larger your prey, the larger the cut diameter should be if you want to take care of it quickly.
Blades: The items in our mechanical broadhead reviews have either 2 or 3 blades. This is totally your preference. Both fly well and make devastating wounds but there are people who swear by both varieties. It’s all up to you.
Pieces: A lot of these broadheads come in packs of 3 but you’ll find 4 packs and 6 packs, too. One of our products even comes in a 12 pack, convenient if you don’t want to worry about replacing blades.
Blade Type: Blade types that our picks use vary from leading edge to hybrid to chisel tips. This is another thing that’s really personal preference. Once you find a style that works, that’s the one you should go with.
Blade Thickness: These broadheads are all just about the same thickness. To be precise, they range from 0.027 to 0.035 inches. They’re thin for sure but that’s what you need to make sure that have the proper aerodynamics.
Now that we’ve worked through our mechanical broadheads buying guide, let’s move right into our reviews. If you’re in a hurry, make sure you check out our top and budget picks first. They’re right at the top of our list so they’re easy to find. You’ll get a good idea of the range that’s available. Stick around if you can, though. All of these products are worth a closer look. So, what is the best mechanical broadhead? Let’s find out!
