New Broadheads for 2026

While shooting at an indoor league in late December of 2025, this was the banter I heard while trying to focus on placing my arrows inside the Xs during a 5-Spot round:

“I tried that broadhead, and though I found the animal, the blood trail was terrible.”

“That’s because it’s a fixed-blade, and fixed-blade holes are too small.”

“I put two fixed, two mechanical, and two hybrid heads in my quiver every time I go into the woods.”

“Bleeder blades serve no purpose.”

“Bleeder blades are everything.”

“I like a collar to ensure my blades don’t come open.”

“Ugh, I hate collars.”

You get the point, right? When it comes to broadheads, bowhunters are extremely opinionated. So, what’s the answer? What is the Harry Potter magic wand of broadheads? I have zero clue.

Yes, I test no less than 15 broadheads of all shapes, styles, etc., each year, and I know my number one go-to. However, my go-to probably isn’t yours, and yours probably isn’t mine. Bowhunters argue about broadheads more than politicians banter about policy. Let’s just skip the debate. Here’s what’s new in the broadhead arena for 2026.

Rage Tyrant

I've had my share of experiences with three-blade mechanical broadheads, yet most manufacturers still favor two-blade designs. In 2026, Rage disrupts the market with its new three-blade Tyrant (pictured above), featuring a 2.0-plus-inch cutting head.

Many mechanical broadheads stick to two blades for better field-point accuracy. However, Rage claims that Tyrant's offset-blade design delivers significant cuts through an aggressive helical-wound channel, ensuring consistent shot accuracy.

The Tyrant's design combines a titanium chisel tip with an aluminum ferrule and .035-inch thick 420 stainless-steel blades for enhanced durability. Additionally, Rage's compression-fit retention system ensures more controlled blade deployment, and the Tyrant is offered in three-packs for both vertical and horizontal bow setups.

SEVR Ti 2.0 4-Blade Hybrid

SEVR's Hybrid broadhead lineup grows with the introduction of the new Ti 2.0. Like its predecessors, the Ti 1.5 and Ti 1.74, this broadhead features patented innovations such as Lock-and-Pivot blades, Stretch Cut, and the Practice Lock.

With a durable, one-piece machined titanium ferrule and precision tip, the Ti 2.0 enhances ballistic performance. The combination of a 2-inch locking pivoting main blade and a .75-inch fixed bleeder blade increases lethality, delivering a total cut of 2.75 inches when paired with SEVR arrows.

Secure your blade with the included second set screw for practice, ensuring consistency when it’s time to hunt. When it comes to accuracy and terminal performance, you can’t go wrong with any of SEVR’s Ti 4-Blade Hybrid broadheads.

Speed Crosscut 100

Last fall, I tested nine two-blade mechanical heads for accuracy, penetration, and durability. Speed’s Crosscut 100 ranked in the top three across all metrics, showing remarkable accuracy at 120 yards. Three Crosscut heads grouped within an inch right and ¾ inch low of my 100-grain field points, making it a standout broadhead.

The .39-inch leading cross-cut blade and razor-sharp oval tip penetrated a 38-yard doe, exiting through the offside flank. The doe only traveled 59 yards, leaving an impressive blood trail. The durable 7068-aluminium ferrule, which engineers claim is twice as strong as standard 6061 aluminum, held up well, allowing me to easily fold the blades back in.

Speed Reactive Technology, with no clips or collars, secures the blades using a spring-driven piston. This design tightens the blades for accurate flight and releases them upon impact for optimal energy transfer.

Wasp SharpShooter CBW

A reputable name in the world of broadheads, Wasp provides a wide selection of heads engineered for compound, traditional, and crossbow hunters. Ranging from fixed-blade to mechanical options, equipping your quiver with a Wasp broadhead ensures you can hunt with confidence.

Wasp’s latest addition, the 1-inch-diameter SharpShooter CBW, is available in 100- and 150-grain weight variations. This fixed-blade broadhead boasts two surgical-sharp, .040-inch-thick main blades along with two .027-inch-thick bleeder blades. The cut-on-contact tip enhances penetration and sets the stage for the powerful CBW edge main blades.

For bowhunters who prefer personalization, the CBW can be used with or without the bleeder blades. Removing the bleeder blades reduces the broadhead's weight by five grains.

TenPoint Nemesis Titaniuim

TenPoint is becoming a one-stop shop for all things crossbow, and its new-for-2026 Nemsis is sure to become a favorite lung-puncher of the horizontal bow crowd.

According to TenPoint, the all-titanium construction makes the Nemesis three times stronger than aluminum broadheads, and the dual main blades with two trailer blades situated just above where the broadheads meet the bolt, will produce red-carpet blood trails. With a total cutting diameter of 3.75 inches, it is hyper accurate, and the .036-inch 420 stainless-steel main blades boost durability. With an unlimited speed rating, this 100-grain broadhead is designed to produce precision accuracy, lethal power, and ensure you fill the freezer.

Beast 2.0 150G Stainless Steel

To truly gauge if the hype is justified, experiencing it firsthand is essential. In November 2025, I tested the two-blade 2.0 Beast Aluminum on a mature 5-1/2-year-old buck. The shot was precise, and the broadhead sliced through effortlessly, with the buck collapsing just 75 yards away.

The Beast hype is indeed legitimate. Though I haven’t tested the broadhead makers 2.0 150G Stainless Steel head, which heavy arrow enthusiasts will appreciate, I’m confident it's up to snuff. The advanced Bone Evading Advanced Spring Technology features dual blades that retract and redeploy upon hitting bone. The German LUTZ blades, firing from the ferrule at 940 miles per hour, work alongside a 400-series hardened stainless-steel tip for optimal penetration.

This head suits crossbows and lower-poundage bows, with a simple blade retention system that eliminates the need for springs or bands. The blades lock in place as the spring compresses.

Iron Will 100-Grain Single Bevel

Iron Will’s 100-Grain Single Bevel Broadheads are built for bowhunters who value penetration, accuracy, and flat-out reliability. These precision-machined fixed blades are designed to perform when the shot counts, whether you’re slipping an arrow through ribs or breaking heavy bone.

The single-bevel main blade is engineered to maintain rotational spin through impact, creating a bone-splitting, corkscrew effect that drives deep and keeps cutting. That rotation continues through hide, muscle, and bone, producing impressive wound channels, heavy blood trails, and quicker recoveries. Add the optional single-bevel bleeder blade, and you increase rotational force and total tissue cut while opening larger exit wounds without giving up penetration. Accuracy has always been a calling card for Iron Will, and these broadheads fly with field-point-like consistency, even from today’s high-speed bows. Long shots, short shots—it doesn’t matter. They hit where you aim and hit hard.

Available in right- or left-bevel options to match your fletching, the three-pack now ships in a waterproof, dust-proof, hunt-proof travel case. This is confidence-inspiring gear, plain and simple.

Slatra Archery Draugr

Many bowhunters exclusively use mechanical broadheads, but there's a dedicated group of fixed-blade enthusiasts who embrace the fixed-blade option whenever they venture into the field. It’s difficult to match the reliability of a fixed-blade, which delivers an immediate cut with no energy loss.

Introducing Slatra's Draugr – a groundbreaking broadhead design that addresses the plaining issue common in traditional fixed-blade heads. This heavily-vented fixed-blade features a cutting diameter of 1.6 inches, is compatible with both vertical and horizontal bows, and contains no moving parts, screws, or washers. With a wider wound channel than most fixed-blade designs, Slatra also boasts that it offers field-point accuracy, provided your compound bow is properly tuned. Although the vented blades may appear thin and fragile, my personal testing has shown that the Draugr is remarkably durable.

Ozcut Kreature

A uniquely designed broadhead that I watched plop through an 800-pound bull elk like butter, Ozcut’s Kreature blends the reliability of a fixed-blade with the large wound channel of a mechanical. Patent-pending Kreature Collar technology uses a friction snap blade locking mechanism that eliminates the need for an O-ring. Plus, I watched the same gentleman who smoked the bull replace the expandable blades in seconds when we returned to camp.

The Kreature produces a total cutting diameter of 2.5 inches and is available in 100- and 125-grain options. The head measures just .75 inches in flight, which is a big reason those who’ve tested the head refer to it as one of the most accurate mechanical broadheads on the market.

NAP KillZone RX 2.3

I shot my first bull elk at 48 yards using NAP’s original KillZone. The bull traveled 80 yards before collapsing, leaving a heavy blood trail, and the broadhead lodged deep in a pine, making it unretrievable. You can always tell a manufacturer has a winner when they keep expanding their product line, and that’s exactly what NAP has done with the KillZone.

Introducing the KillZone RX 2.3, a high-quality rear-deploy mechanical broadhead that boasts a massive 2-3/16-inch cut. Its curved blades and razor-sharp edges enhance penetration. Although NAP chose a black-nickel finish for this big-game killer, it certainly adds to its visual appeal.

The ferrule, made from 7075 aluminum, is streamlined, and the broadhead requires no bands, O-rings, or collars. NAP’s spring-clip design secures the blades in the quiver and during flight. The KillZone RX 2.3 is offered in 100-grain models, featuring either a cut-on-contact razor tip or NAP’s Trophy Tip.
