Abstract
A broadhead, comprising an elongated body defining a longitudinal axis and having a forward portion, a tip portion, and a rearward portion spaced from the forward portion. At least one forward blade is connected to the forward portion and configured for movement relative to the elongated body between a retracted position generally adjacent the elongated body to an extended position extending outwardly from the elongated body. And, at least one rearward blade connected to the rearward portion and configured for movement relative to the elongated body between a retracted position generally adjacent the elongated body to an extended position extending outwardly from the elongated body.
Claims30
A broadhead, comprising:
- an elongated body defining a longitudinal axis, the elongated body including a rearward portion and a forward portion spaced from the rearward portion, the forward portion having a tip portion;
- at least one forward blade connected to the forward portion and configured for movement relative to the elongated body between a retracted position generally adjacent the elongated body and an extended position extending outwardly from the elongated body;
- and
- at least one rearward blade connected to the rearward portion and configured for movement relative to the elongated body between a retracted position generally adjacent the elongated body and an extended position extending outwardly from the elongated body.
A method for using blades of a broadhead in relation to a target, comprising:
- providing an elongated body having a forward portion having a tip blade, at least one forward blade, at least one forward lever attached to the forward blade, at least one rearward blade spaced from the rearward blade, and at least one rearward lever attached to the rearward blade, each of the forward blade and the rearward blade being independently movable between a respective retracted position generally adjacent the elongated body to an extended position extending outwardly from the elongated body;
- propelling the broadhead towards the target;
- impacting the target with the tip blade;
- after the impacting of the target with the tip blade, impacting the forward lever with the target with sufficient force to cause the forward blade to pivot forwardly and outwardly towards the extended position of the forward blade;
- and
- after the impacting of the target with the forward lever blade, impacting the rearward lever with the target with sufficient force to cause the rearward blade to pivot rearwardly and outwardly towards the extended position of the rearward blade.
A broadhead comprising:
- an elongated body defining a longitudinal axis and having a tip portion, a forward portion, and a rearward portion spaced from the forward portion, wherein
- the tip portion includes a first tip blade and a second tip blade,
- the first tip blade extends in a first plane, the second tip extends in a second plane angled with respect to the first plane, and the second tip blade is recessed from the first tip blade along the longitudinal axis.
A broadhead, comprising:
- an elongated body defining a longitudinal axis, the body including a forward portion having a tip, and a rearward portion spaced from the forward portion;
- at least one primary blade pivotally connected to the elongated body, the primary blade movable relative to the elongated body between a retracted position wherein the primary blade is generally adjacent to the elongated body, and an extended position wherein the primary blade extends generally outwardly from the elongated body;
- and
- a block connected to the elongated body, the block configured to prevent movement, beyond a predetermined amount, of the at least one primary blade from the extended position back towards the retracted position.
