U.B.A.R. stands for Uniform Broadhead Adapter Ring. This cleaver little device acts as an interface between the broadhead and thin arrow shafts, such as the Easton ST Axis and the Easton ST Excel.
The Thunderhead o-ring is positioned on the inner surface of the UBAR where it provides the support needed to the rear surface of the broadhead. It also keeps the broadhead properly aligned with the shaft so that it will spin true with no wobble. If you are using standard-diameter carbon shafts or any aluminum shafts, the UBAR ring is not necessary, but they don't do any harm either.
UBARs are particularly recommended for bowhunting with Easton ST Axis, ST Axis FMJ, and ST Epic arrows, but will work with all arrow shafts and all broadheads. They come in packets of six.

These little rings of hard rubber have several uses. They are placed between the UBAR or the arrow-shaft insert (in the case of larger-diameter arrows) and the base of the broadhead. They keep the blades intact in the ferrule when the broadhead is removed and they assist in aligning the broadhead With the shaft.
The NAP Shockwave and Scorpion mechanical broadheads also use O-rings as a retainer for the blades when they are in the folded position. These are different than the blade-retaining rings shown here and should be ordered separately.
NAP broadhead O-rings are sold in packets of twelve rings each.

Naturally, the big advantage to using replaceable-blade broadheads is that when the blades get dull or bent, you simply install a new set and keep hunting. No need to sharpen them at all. Another advantage is that you can replace your sharp hunting blades with a set of aeronautically designed practice blades that are guaranteed to fly just like your hunting blades but will be a lot easier on your target and will be easier to remove from foam target (or any other type of target for that matter).
In the case of the Nitron Mini Broadhead and similar high-tech mini heads, it is usually better to replace the blades rather than trying to resharpen them. Any distortion of the blade angle or orientation will have a profound effect on arrow flight especially when the arrow is traveling at the higher speeds of today's new bows. NAP is justifiably proud of the sharpness of the edge they provide on their blades and it is unlikely that any degree of re sharpening will restore this edge.
Each packet of replacement blades will renew three or six broadheads depending on the number of broadheads in the original package.
Each packet of eighteen replacement blades will renew six broadheads. Select broadhead size from the drop down menu below.
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.
