Patent attributes
The disclosure relates to a collar for a reduced diameter broadhead wherein a diameter of a ferrule of the broadhead is relatively smaller than an outside diameter of a shaft of an arrow or crossbow bolt to which the broadhead is attached. The collar includes a plurality of spaced-apart tabs, each configured for retaining at least one of a plurality of blades in a retracted position during flight and permitting the retained blade to deploy after the broadhead impacts the target. An outside diameter of the collar at a distal end thereof is substantially equal to the diameter of the ferrule, and an outside diameter of the collar at a proximal end thereof is substantially equal to the outside diameter of the shaft. An outside surface of the collar at the distal end thereof is substantially flush with an outside surface of the ferrule.
