Patent attributes
A hybrid mechanical broadhead for an archery bow and arrow (e.g., recurve bow, compound bow, or crossbow) has at least one pivoting blade. In a retracted position, a cutting edge of the pivoting blade folds forward into an elongated body of the broadhead. A hook protrusion and blunt edge are externally exposed in the retracted position, and the hook protrusion is configured to rotate the blade to a deployed position, exposing the cutting edge of the blade. The blade may be locked into the deployed position by tightening a threaded fastener onto the blade or by placing an annular band around the hook protrusion and elongated body. An annular collar may be used to place the band about the hook portion, and forcing the blade into the retracted position moves the band forward on the broadhead, securing the blade in the retracted position.
