Best Archery Broadheads of 2026

"I picked up these darts for my homemade blowgun and was genuinely impressed by their straight flight and great penetration power. The cones needed a little sanding to fit my PVC, but that was easy to manage. I found the tips to stay sharp, even after shooting through various materials like aluminum cans and wood. Outstanding value for the number of darts you get, and I'd definitely buy them again."

"After buying a Tim Wells blowgun, I wanted extra darts and chose these. A year later, I finally tested one on a raccoon threatening my chickens. The dart passed clean through at close range, with only minor damage to the plastic cap and the tip still sharp. The metal shaft looked as good as new after cleaning. Impressive performance and durability overall."

"These are excellent for target practice—they're really sharp and accurate. Just be aware they're not toys for children. I mainly use them for fun when hunting is slow, and they've been a great way to pass the time outdoors."

"I've used a lot of broadheads, but these stand out for their unmatched cutting power and gigantic entry and exit wounds. Even my legally blind father can follow the heavy blood trails they leave. I do notice the blades can bend after a shot, but with replacement blades available, it's not a deal breaker."

"Switching to these after years of other mechanicals, I've been three for three on deer with perfect function and incredible damage. The heads are still in great shape and reusable after cleaning. They’re a bit pricey, but the performance and reliability make them worth it."

"I wanted a broadhead that flies like a field tip and I got exactly that. These are extremely accurate and gave me a complete pass-through with a huge blood trail. The only minor thing is the blades can catch on grass if you stalk with an arrow nocked, but otherwise, they’re fantastic."

"I've tried a few broadheads, but these are by far the best—the penetration and the size of the wound channel are incredible. When I double-lunged an 8-point, he only made it about 50 yards. These broadheads truly get the job done."

"After switching from another brand, I was really impressed. My shot on a doe resulted in a devastating heart and lung hit that dropped her instantly. The wound channel was massive and the trauma was obvious. I won’t be using anything else now."

"I've used several expandable broadheads, but these outperform all the rest. They fly true, are super sharp, and every deer I've hit left a great blood trail—I’ve never lost a harvest since switching."

"I waited until I actually harvested a deer with this broadhead before reviewing, and I’m genuinely impressed. Despite a less-than-ideal shot, it delivered a quick, humane kill with a huge wound channel and total pass-through—even breaking several ribs. The arrow stayed intact except for a bent blade, and the animal barely ran before collapsing. These broadheads far exceeded my expectations, and I trust them for future hunts."

"Over the last decade, I’ve relied on these broadheads for all my crossbow hunts. They have never let me down—always deploying properly, creating big holes, and making tracking easy. I can honestly say they’re the perfect head for any crossbow setup."

"I’ve tried numerous broadheads across four different crossbows, and the Rage remains the most accurate and reliable. Even with imperfect shots, they open up every time and hit hard. They’re so tough that I’ve reused them for turkey hunts after taking deer—just clean and shoot again. Nothing else matches their performance for me or my kids."

"I was skeptical about trying mechanical broadheads, especially at this price, but after using the G5 Megameat, I’m convinced they’re worth every penny. Harvested two deer, both left an easily visible blood trail and didn’t run far—extremely effective and sharp. I won’t use another broadhead after this."

"These broadheads are razor sharp right out of the box. I particularly appreciate the inclusion of a practice head that flies similar to field points. Haven’t used one on a hunt yet, but so far, I’m impressed."

"I absolutely love the Deadmeat broadheads. Their accuracy and the impressive blood trails they create stand out to me. Also, I’m always pleased with the lightning-fast shipping from the seller—never disappointed with my orders."

"I've switched to these broadheads after years of using fixed blades, and I have to say, the accuracy is incredible—they fly just like field points. Since making the change, I've extended my reliable shooting range by 10 yards, and every deer I've taken has been easy to track with clear, frothy blood trails. Durability is excellent—I just change out the blades and keep using the same head. For me, they're sharp, reliable, and cost-effective."

"As someone who's tried countless broadheads, I can honestly say these are my go-to choice. I've harvested around 30-40 deer with them and even reused the same broadhead multiple times after careful cleaning and sharpening. The blood trails are so obvious that even with my color blindness, I have no trouble tracking. They always open on impact, fly true, and hold up shot after shot. If you're on the fence, just get them—you won't regret it."

"I'm new to crossbow hunting, but these broadheads made a huge difference in my confidence. After struggling with inconsistent patterns from another brand, I switched and immediately noticed tighter groups and perfect accuracy. My first buck with these dropped within 20 yards, and the broadhead punched clean through. The included practice tips did tear up my foam target a bit, but the peace of mind in shot placement was worth it."

"I've always been hesitant about using mechanical broadheads, but after trying these, I'm convinced. The flight is perfectly true and the harvest is quick. I can't recommend them enough—these broadheads just work."

"The penetration is outstanding and they perform exactly as advertised. The option to use a band or rubber insert to keep the blades secure until impact makes a big difference. Flawless performance all around."

"I really like that they fly straight and open every time. The ability to lock the heads for practice with the same broadhead I'll use in the field is a great feature."

"I've relied on these broadheads for years, and they've never failed me. Whether using a compound or crossbow, they always fly true. If I'm worried about early blade deployment, I just slide a small dental band over them—no impact on accuracy at all."

"After switching from more expensive brands, these have become my go-to for compound bow hunting. They fly just like my field points, and the friction retention system works much better than what I used before. Sharp, reliable, and affordable—I won't be going back."

"I've used these for multiple seasons, and they are very accurate with my crossbow. Quick kills and strong blood trails every time. Far better than what I used to buy at big box stores—great value for the price."

"I was looking for a solid, affordable broadhead and these completely fit the bill. They arrived very sharp and well constructed, fit snugly, and flew just as straight as my more expensive ones. I especially appreciate the sharpened back edges—they pull out of targets smoothly with less damage. For practice and medium game, I feel like I'm getting top value without spending a fortune each time I shoot."

"These heads proved to be a perfect budget substitute for my usual Muzzy 100 grain broadheads. In terms of accuracy, I couldn't tell the difference, and the sharper backs made them way easier to remove from targets. Even shooting low poundage (43lbs), I managed to take down a 200lb buck with a clean and ethical harvest. While the hole is smaller than expandables, they still get the job done effectively for my needs and don't break the bank."

"I was amazed at the consistency and quality—all six broadheads spun perfectly and were within half a grain of each other. The extra weight is great for precise sharpening, and I recommend using diamond plates for the best edge. Even though they don't 'feel' razor sharp, they push through targets and game easily. If you're looking for something ready out of the box for targets or easily tuned up for hunting, these are tough to beat."

"I've taken several whitetails with these broadheads and every shot resulted in a complete pass-through and reliable blood trail. I appreciate the simplicity and ruggedness, and they always fly the same as my practice tips. After multiple kills, the blades remain undamaged and I’m confident I can sharpen them for more hunts. I keep coming back to these every season."

"After nearly a decade of bowhunting with these, I can say they’re incredibly durable and more often than not, I can resharpen them for another year. They’ve helped me take down many deer and never let me down. Awesome product!"

"For anyone wanting a no-fuss, reliable broadhead, this fixed three-blade style is hard to beat. I love that I can restore the blades to razor-sharp with just simple sharpening stones—no special tools required. The durability, performance, and easy maintenance make it a fantastic value, whether you’re a seasoned hunter or new to the sport."
