Abstract
An expanding or expandable broadhead tip for arrows wherein a sliding body is provided to carry the blades of the arrow and allow for rotation of the blades to an expanded position. When in folded or inflight position, the rearmost ends of the blades rest on a radial surface of a stationary or positionable stop having a camming front surface and which are held in such position by a retainer. When the tip strikes an object, the sliding body moves rearwardly causing the ends of the blades to override the hold down force of the retainer and as rearward motion continues, the blades are cammed outwardly by the camming front of the stop.
