Patent attributes
A cut-on-contact broadhead having a plurality of deployable blades. Each of the plurality of blades is pivotally coupled to a ferrule configured for attaching the broadhead to a shaft of an arrow or a bolt. Each of the plurality of blades includes a tip, an impact region, a first cutting edge, and a second cutting edge. During flight, blades are in a fully retracted state forming a distal tip of the broadhead having sharp cutting edges defined at least in part by the first cutting edges of the blades. Upon impact, the distal tip of the broadhead creates a bore in the target. As the broadhead penetrates the target, the plurality of blades are deployed into a swept-back configuration exposing the second cutting edge of each blade. The second cutting edges expand the bore initiated by the distal tip of the broadhead and create a passage in the target.
