For bow hunters, broadhead penetration goes hand in hand with success. Choosing a broadhead that's scientifically engineered for penetration can make the difference between an ethical harvest and a wounded animal.

Not all steels are created equal. After many years of testing, we found A2 Tool Steel combined with a cryogenic treatment and triple temper heat treatment achieves the desired characteristics for maximum penetration.

Hardened to 60 Rockwell C, we are able to apply a multi-stage honing process to achieve a very hard edge. Softer, more typical broadhead steels don't have the metallurgical characteristics capable of getting that sharp. Additionally, the 60 Rockwell C hardness ensures the broadhead stays sharp through the entire penetration. Our testing has shown softer steels lose their edge getting through the hide, which in turn increases the force required to penetrate and pushes material aside instead of cutting it, reducing blood trails. Throughout testing, an Instron machine was used to very accurately record the amount of force required to push through hide, bone, and muscle.

There could be many situations when taking a shot that require more than anticipated penetration. Maybe the animal ducks and turns at the shot, presenting a shoulder bone or spine. Or, perhaps you're presented with a longer shot opportunity, where there will be a lot less energy remaining in your arrow at impact. A stronger, sharper, more durable broadhead that requires minimal force to penetrate will get your arrow further through the animal.

After all it takes to have the opportunity to draw your bow back at an animal, ensuring your broadhead's design and material characteristics support maximum penetration gives bow hunters the best chance at finishing the job quickly and ethically.
