Give the following information a read, pick a few new broadheads, and conduct some tests this offseason. Testing is fun and proves things, and when it comes time to build your broadhead arsenal for the seasons ahead, you won’t wonder if it will get the job done. You’ll know it will!
Rage Black Series Rage Black Series Three popular Rage Broadheads — the Blade Tip SC, Chisel Tip SC and Trypan+P — make up the Black Series, featuring blades that are 67 percent sharper than the original and come with Rage’s tried-and-true Shock Collars and Slap Cut. The break-away, petal-like design of the Shock Collar keeps blades contained in the ferrule in flight. Then, on impact, the razor-sharp blades jump into action, producing insane entrance wounds and maximum penetration, leading to a red-carpet blood trail.

Muzzy Trocar Ti Muzzy Trocar Ti Chances are you or someone you know has filled the freezer multiple times with Muzzy’s field-proven Trocar. Its successor, the Trocar Ti, features an improved design that allows users to adjust the .39-inch-thick blades to a right or left offset. This means you can optimize arrow flight by matching string twist or fletching helical/offset to ensure maximum downrange accuracy. Like the original, the Ti is built like a tank, and the true center blade-retention system ensures the blades stay locked in the correct position before being screwed onto the arrow for a precision fit. The Ti is available in 100-grain vertical bow, as well as 100- and 125-grain crossbow versions.

Designed to perform with today’s high-speed vertical bows and crossbows, this 100-grain head features surgically sharp blades and weighted collars that allow you to adjust the weight between 100 and 125 grains.
