Claims22
A multifunctional broadhead comprising:
- a ferrule comprising a slot, wherein the slot is configured to interchangeably house a first blade configured to operate in a first mode wherein the first blade extends through the slot across a width of the ferrule, and a second blade and a third blade configured to operate in a second mode, wherein the slot comprises an opening sized to house a thickness of both the second blade and the third blade;
- wherein a screw/pin secures the second and third blades to each other,
- wherein the second and third blades are held in a retracted position by insertion of a media into the second and third blades forming a friction fit,
- wherein upon target impact the second and third blades deploy into an extended position, and
- wherein the first and second modes are user selected.

A multifunctional broadhead comprising:
- a ferrule comprising at least one opening configured to interchangeably house a first blade and a pair of blades;
- wherein the first blade configured to engage the ferrule and configured to operate in a first mode, wherein the first mode is a fixed blade configuration wherein the first blade extends through the opening and across a width the ferrule;
- and
- wherein the pair of blades interchangeable with the first blade and configured to engage the ferrule and configured operate in a second mode, wherein the second mode is a mechanical configuration, wherein the pair of blades are held in a retracted position by a media forming a friction fit in the pair of blades throughout an arrow time of flight, and wherein the pair of blades deploy to an extended position upon a target impact.

A multifunctional broadhead comprising:
- a ferrule comprising a passageway extending across a full width of the ferrule and configured to interchangeably house a first blade configured to operate in a first mode, and a second blade and a third blade configured to operate in a second mode, wherein the passageway comprises a size configured to house a thickness of both the second blade and the third blade, wherein the second and third blades replace the first blade in the second mode, wherein a screw/pin secures the second and third blades to each other, wherein the second and third blades are held in a retracted position by insertion of a media into the second and third blades and wherein upon a target impact the second blade and the third blade deploy into an extended position, and wherein the first and second modes are user selected.
A broadhead comprising:
- a ferrule configured to operate in a first mode and second mode, wherein the first mode is a fixed configuration and the second mode is a mechanical configuration;
- the ferrule comprising a slot wherein the slot comprises a width extending across a width of the ferrule, wherein the slot is dimensioned to interchangeably house a first blade configured to operate in the first mode, and a second and a third blade configured to operate in the second mode;
- wherein a screw/pin secures the second and third blades to each other, and wherein the slot is further dimensioned to accommodate the screw/pin that secures the second and third blades to each other;
- wherein the second and third blades are configured to replace the first blade in the second mode;
- wherein the second and third blades are held in a retracted position by insertion of a media into the second and third blades;
- wherein upon target impact the second and third blades deploy into an extended position;
- and
- wherein a user can interchangeably select between the first and second modes.
