Claims20
A multifunctional arrow broadhead comprising
- a ferrule wherein the ferrule includes a plurality of slots, a first screw/pin, and a media hole positioned below the first screw/pin and configured to engage a second screw, and wherein the media hole is positioned perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the ferrule;
- at least two blades wherein the blades are configured to engage the plurality of slots and wherein the screw/pin secures the blades to the ferrule;
- and
- a base wherein the blades are further configured to function in a first mode wherein the two blades are further configured to function in a second mode and wherein the first and second modes are user selected.

A method of forming a multifunctional arrow broadhead comprising
- forming a ferrule wherein the ferrule includes a plurality of slots, a first screw/pin, and a media hole positioned below the first screw/pin and configured to engage a second screw, and wherein the media hole is positioned perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the ferrule;
- forming at least two blades wherein the blades are configured to engage the plurality of slots and wherein the screw/pin secures the blades to the ferrule;
- and
- forming a base wherein the base is threaded and configured to removably engage an arrow shaft or an arrow insert,
- wherein the blades are further configured to function in a first mode,
- wherein the two blades are further configured to function in a second mode and wherein the first and second modes are user selected,
- wherein the first mode is a fixed blade configuration wherein the blades are extended in a deployed position, and
- wherein the second mode is a mechanical configuration wherein the blades are further configured in a retracted position wherein the blades are held in the retracted position by insertion of a media into the media hole forming a friction fit throughout an arrow time of flight and wherein the blades deploy to an extended position upon a target impact.
