## Abstract

A broadhead for an arrow comprises a plurality of blade portions that extend about a body portion. The blade portions are offset relative to each other and each blade portion extends outwardly from the body portion. The blade portion is shaped with a relatively narrow front tip and expands to a relatively broader rear section. Each blade portion has a beveled outer cutting edge that angles downwardly from a first side to a second side. The arrangement and orientation of the blade portions assists with the rotation of the arrow during flight thereby providing increased accuracy and reduced drag.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A broadhead for an arrow, said broadhead comprising:
three blade portions spaced equidistant about a body portion;
wherein the body portion has a section that has a hexagonal shape;
wherein the blade portions are offset relative to each other;
wherein each blade portion extends outwardly from the body portion and is shaped with a relatively narrow front tip and expands to a relatively broader rear section and each blade portion has a beveled outer cutting edge that angles downwardly from a first side to a second side;
wherein the blade portions and the body portion are integrally formed to provide an integral unitary broadhead; and
wherein the blade portions are arranged relative to each other so that the second side of one of the blade portions is proximal to the first side of the adjacent blade portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A broadhead as claimed in claim 1 wherein the offset arrangement of the blade portions and the beveled edges cooperate to assist the rotation of the arrow.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A broadhead as claimed in claim 1 wherein the beveled edge of each blade portion is in the same orientation relative to the outward extension of the blade portions and a front position of the broadhead.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A broadhead as claimed in claim 1 wherein each of the blade portions tapers in a similar manner from the rear section to the front tip.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A broadhead as claimed in claim 1 wherein a surface of the second side of each of the blade portions extends continuously in the same plane to form part of an outer surface of the body portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A broadhead as claimed in claim 1 wherein each of the blade portions is asymmetrical about a perpendicular axis extending through a central longitudinal axis of the broadhead.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

A broadhead as claimed in claim 1 wherein the beveled outer cutting edge of each of the blade portions has an angled edge section to form a broad tip at the front end.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

A broadhead as claimed in claim 1 wherein the body portion comprises a threaded section for fixing to an arrow shaft.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

An arrow comprising a broadhead as claimed in claim 1, comprising fletching attached adjacent an end of the arrow.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

An arrow comprising a broadhead as claimed in claim 1 wherein the blade portions of the broadhead align with fletching at the opposite end of the arrow so as to promote rotation of the arrow during flight in a coordinated manner.
