Mechanical Broadheads
Bowhunting Broadheads with Moving Parts

When mechanical broadheads were first introduced to the bowhunting public, they quickly earned and deserved a reputation for being terrible. Blades falling off and heads refusing to open on impact were just two common complaints. They were also very expensive. However, technology has overcome the first two of these three complaints, and today the best mechanicals are just as reliable as the fixed blade heads. Plus mechanicals offer some important advantages to the bowhunter willing to pay the extra cost. They are easier to carry and keep sharp in a quiver and they cut a bigger hole than fixed blade heads of the same weight are just two.

If you are having trouble getting your fixed blade heads to strike the target in the same spot as your field tips, you may want to give mechanicals a try, and if you shoot a short arrow, as with an overdraw or a crossbow, there is a very good chance that mechanicals will give you noticeably better arrow flight. And as for the third complaint listed above? Well, mechanicals are still very expensive, even at NZAP prices, but hey, two out of three isn't bad.



G5 Tekan Mechanical Broadhead

G5 Tekan Mechanical Broadhead

The Tekan is a new type of mechanical broadhead from G5 Archery. The Tekan is constructed of one-piece stainless-steel, with no screws or other fasteners to come lose, and a tough .625-inch (16mm) cut-on-contact tip. The folding blades are .040" thick and simple to replace. The folding blades are held closed with a simple spring washer until contact with the target causes the blades to ratchet open. The spring washer also keeps the blades from closing while they are passing through flesh, insuring maximum wound channel and blood trail.

  • .040" thick blades with cut-on-contact tip
  • New Black Finish Reduces Glare
  • One-piece Stainless Construction
  • Re-Sharpenable Blades
  • Available in 100-grain weight only

Archery Tips and Tricks from NZAP QUICK TIPS

A Cheap Broadhead Target

If you want a really cheap (like free) broadhead target, get a cardboard carton about half a meter square and about 150 to 200mm deep and stuff it very tightly with crumpled-up newspaper. Now attach two strong cords to adjacent corners so the box can be suspended in front of your backstop. The idea is that the arrow with the broadhead will penetrate the box without a complete pass through leaving the broadhead sticking out of the back of the box. To remove the arrow, unscrew the broadhead and pull out the arrow. This only works if the box is suspended because the swinging box absorbs most of the energy from the arrow.

If the arrow passes through the box use more paper. If the broadhead doesn't protrude from the back of the box, use less paper. If you miss the target, get a bigger box or stand closer. If you still miss the box, you're on your own.
