Default Why use these broadheads?

I use a fixed blade broadhead; both Montec G5 and Cabelas Copperhead fixed blade.

I bought these ones online super cheap as I won an auction 3 for $1.50 USD. Does anyone know why anyone would use them? Seems to have a chisel point on the front to break bone, and the 3 curved blades seems to be difficult to resharpen. It is good because it is not easy to pull out as you can see.

I’m not so sure these would be legal here: “An authorized arrow is one that is not less than 61 cm (24 in.) in length that has a tip that bears a head that is not intentionally designed to resist being withdrawn after it has penetrated an object.” I wouldn’t use them.

But I can tell you that many broadheads right now are difficult to withdraw from an animal. Most of the time, it is a pass through so that should not be an issue. BUT! .... a montec G5 has a slight "barb" that makes it difficult to take it out from my targets.

Guess I should clarify. I wouldn’t use them because they look like junk. I’m also not sure if they would be legal due to there design. If you think they are what you want to use fill your boots

Default Goofy broadheads

I suspect that curved cutting edge would inhibit penetration. If you want to make them legal grind off the “barbs”

Usually only a pass through if A) you do your part and put it in the right spot and B) have enough momentum / power to push it all the way through. A light weight setup coming out of minimum poundage bow would not perform up to a lot of people's standards, including the CO that is inspecting your equipment.

Coxy95 has it right. By definition in the regs, they do look very much like a "barbed" design and you wouldn't find those in my quiver.

Broadheads seem to be becoming a fashion show. The cooler they look the more they sell, not anything to do with functionality more to do with who’s arrows look cooler.

I’m positive that some Regulations read that Barbed broadheads are not legal

This trend happens allot with fishing lure the shinyer and cooler they look the More fishermen they catch.

I don't even want to haha. I may as well just practice with field points that weight close to 100 grams. I don't feel like fighting these out from the targets.

Default Broadheads

Illegal for big game use (would be considered barbed) in Alberta.
