New Broadheads for 2022

It's simple — you can't get the job done in the field without a quality broadhead. Here are the latest and greatest.

January 07, 2022 By Jace Bauserman

Knockout Blow — NAP Endgame

When hunting with stick and string, the endgame is to punch a hole in the vitals of a big-game critter and fill the freezer, right? NAP agrees, and its new Endgame was designed to blow through game animals, create massive trauma and put them down quickly. This broadhead is tank tough, with a one-piece blade design, and it showcases a cutting diameter of 1.188 inches. The Bone Breaker tip paves the way for the .031-inch-thick blades, and each three-pack comes with a spare set of blades for practice or hunting. All Endgame broadheads are spin-tested for optimal flight performance. $54.99 per 3 | newarchery.com

A More Deadly Trypan — Rage Hypodermic Trypan NC

The Rage Hypodermic Trypan NC — available for both arrows and bolts — is making hunters from coast to coast extremely happy. This 2-blade, 100-grain broadhead slices 2-inch cuts in game, with the Hypodermic Tip punching a hole for the .039-inch-thick blades to do their work. The new No Collar technology keeps blades locked in place during flight, without the need for a shock collar or O-ring. The result is exceptional accuracy, while at the same time allowing the broadhead to easily and consistently deploy upon impact. Deer, elk and other game won’t know what hit them. $41.99 per 2 | ragebroadheads.com

Put The Hurt On — SYKD Hunt Endurance

Created to carve devastating wound channels when fired from horizontal and vertical bows, SYKD Hunt Endurance 100-grain fixed-blade broadheads wear a trio of stainless steel, hand-sharpened blades. The ferrule is ultra-durable and the bone-crushing steel head features an aggressive look that will no doubt up penetration. Blades lock into place from the front end to ensure held-tight placement, and each SYKD Hunt Endurance head is built to perform, last and, most importantly, crush whatever’s in its way. $29.99 per 3 | getsykd.com

That's Sick! — SIK SK2

Every archer expects his or her mechanical broadhead to be fieldpoint accurate, and when you thread SIK’s SK2 into your arrow shaft, not only do you get incredible accuracy but also a 2-inch offset entry wound. This gash comes via the Offset Blade Design that deploys on impact. In addition to a 2-inch cutting diameter, the SK2’s offset blades overlap in the center to provide an overall cutting surface of 3.625 inches. Yes, with the SK2, blood will flow! $49.99 per 3 | beararchery.com

Mechanical Maestro — Wicked Ridge Impact

Affordability, durability and hard-hitting impact come together in the new Impact mechanical broadhead by Wicked Ridge. This 100-grain, 2-blade, rear-deploying broadhead cuts deeply and leaves lots of blood in its wake thanks to the stainless steel ferrule, bone-crushing tip and blades that deliver a massive 2-inch slice. The floating blade design ensures the blades won’t open in flight, helping produce fieldpoint accuracy. $34.99 per 3 | wickedridgecrossbows.com

Make More Meat — G5 Deadmeat V2

G5 likes to take great products and make them better, and that’s just what this razor-sharp manufacturer has done with its legendary Deadmeat expandable broadhead. The new kid on the Deadmeat block is the V2 and, like its predecessor, it promises fieldpoint accuracy, toughness and power. The 100 percent steel ferrule is bulletproof and its build allows it to drive deep into game and make way for a trio of sharp steel blades. The result is a 1.5-inch cutting diameter and massive hemorrhaging. The Deadmeat V2 comes with a Ballistic Matched Point (BMP) engineered to mirror the actual broadhead to enhance practice sessions. The broadhead is available in 100- and 125-grain options; a Deadmeat V2 crossbow head is also available. $49.95 per 3 | g5outdoors.com

Stinging Impact — Wasp SharpShooter 200

Bowhunters looking for a hard-hitting game getter will appreciate the SharpShooter, a new, 200-grain broadhead that features a cut-on-contact tip and razor-sharp blades with a 1.125-inch cutting diameter. The SharpShooter comes with three, .038-inch-thick primary blades, as well as three, .02-inch-thick bleeder blades that can be added to the broadhead to up the carnage. A righthand bevel helps your arrow continue its rotation upon impact, resulting in devastating results on whitetails, elk and other game. $53.99 per 3 | wasparchery.com

Rage Hypo 2 Broadhead

Chris James of FeraDyne Outdoors gives Bowhunter TV host Curt Wells an introduction to the new Hypo 2 broadhead at the 2025 ATA Show in Indianapolis. The Hypo 2 follows a long, successful tenure from the original Hypodermic. Rage fanatics will immediately notice a couple of things. First, the Hypo 2's will come in a 4-pack instead of the standard three, as well as a re-designed Shock Collar system that now allows for each collar to be shot three different times. It didn't take long to garner some attention on the show floor either, as the Hypo 2 took the hardware as the "2025 ATA Best New Broadhead."

Kimber O'Dell of FeraDyne Outdoors discusses all the features of the new Rhino Low Hub Pro FD hunting blind with Bowhunter TV's Curt Wells at the 2025 ATA Show. Rhino's top-end blind for 2025 showcases lower hubs — meaning the windows start closer to the ground — which is excellent for kids or shorter bowhunters that no longer have to worry about getting themselves high enough to shoot clearly over the windows. FD stands for "Full Door," allowing easy entry and exit for even the tallest bowhunters while toting a backpack, bow, and any other gear that may come along to the field that day.

Think Differently When Hanging Treestands

How often do we consider the wind when hanging our treestands? Almost always! That's a good strategy, except for the fact that we're not hunting the wind — we're hunting deer. With the benefit of Ozonics, it gives us the opportunity to think about where we need to be in order to best hunt our target bucks, even if that means we're not in the perfect place for a particular wind.

Hunting the Right Way

Hunting the Right Way

The right stand, on the right day, with the right wind — that's when success tends to occur. But what if you only have a few select days to hunt because of work, family activities, life events, etc. and the wind is all wrong? That's where Ozonics can come into play. Bowhunters can do more than good if they hunt certain stand sets in the wrong wind. An Ozonics unit, however, is just what the doctor ordered to continue hunting the “right way” — even at the wrong time!

How to Hunt Small Acreage All Season

When it comes to hunting small properties, our success can be boiled down to how much pressure we put on it. And most of the pressure, Cole Tanner explains, is the scent that we produce — and leave behind — in the field. While we're constantly trying to pattern deer, these odors actually allow the deer to pattern us. On smaller properties, our margin of error is razor-thin, so we need to adjust our strategy accordingly.
